DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

I am a moral and political philosopher. My work is primarily about freedom, work, and capitalism. Currently, I am developing a theory of freedom based on the idea that free activity must be intrinsically rather than extrinsically motivated. I approach these topics in part through an engagement with various historical figures, including Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, and especially Marx.
