Profile

Daniel Richmond (Assistant Professor of Philosophy) completed his PhD in Philosophy at the New School for Social Research in New York, where his research focused on ethical and political action, and conceptions of possibility in Ancient and Contemporary philosophy. His dissertation questions the status of possibility for individual and collective agency in Aristotle, Martin Heidegger, and Ernst Bloch. Additionally, his areas of philosophical expertise include Kant, critical theory, and phenomenology. His areas of interest and research include social ontology, process philosophy, the philosophy and ethics of technology, environmental ethics, and theories of race, sex, and gender.

Working primarily within the scope of continental philosophy, Daniel looks to engage notions of identity and agency, and to question traditional conceptions of possibility that condition collective notions of human nature and the status quo. Building upon this, his current work inquires into codifying approaches to technological, ecological, sociopolitical, and economic fixtures and the impossibilities they present for ethical action and agency. Aiming to uncover those countervailing possibilities that disrupt, shift, and skew to static notions of the status quo and self, he examines aspirational, technological, and ecological fixtures in relation to individual and collective empowerment.

In the past he has taught such course as Informal and Formal/Symbolic Logic, Ethics in Computing, Philosophy of Human Nature, Critical Reading and Writing, Ethics and Community Engagement, and Philosophy of the Future.

At MSU Daniel teaches courses such as PHIL 106 Logic, Ethics, Ethics of Love, Sex, and Desire, Ethics and Technology, Environmental Ethics, Biomedical Ethics, and Philosophy of Technology.
