Profile
Daniel Richmond (assistant professor of philosophy) completed his PhD in Philosophy at the New School for Social Research in New York in spring of 2021. His dissertation questions the status of possibility in Aristotle, Heidegger, and Ernst Bloch, with emphasis given to the capacity for individual agency. In addition to this, his areas of philosophical expertise include Kant, critical theory, and phenomenology. His areas of interest include social ontology, philosophy of technology, environmental ethics, feminism, queer theory, and philosophy and race. 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 and inform our notions of humanity. 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. At MSU, Daniel is teaching courses such as PHIL106 Logic, Ethics, and Medical Ethics.
