Research Interest
My principal areas of research are the history of 18th-20th-century European philosophy, the philosophy of art, and social and political philosophy.
I studied philosophy as an undergraduate, having started out in classics. After a hiatus of about a decade, I did graduate work in philosophy at the University of Munich and at Columbia University. I have taught at Notre Dame since 2001, with visiting stints at Cambridge and Munich.
