About Me
I am currently a Professor of Philosophy at Vassar College where I have been teaching since 1991. I am the author of three books and the editor of one. I have also published several scholarly essays, book chapters, and book reviews. My research focuses on Continental philosophy, aesthetics, and the philosophy of terrorism. In all of my work, I have tried to open new channels of communication between competing philosophical schools and lineages, including the analytical and Continental traditions, deconstruction and Critical Theory. In order to intensify this exchange, I pioneered the scholarly interview as a new philosophical genre.
