About
I work on interconnected questions in the history of philosophy, philosophical poetics, and aesthetics, primarily by doing close readings of individual texts. My primary work is on Wittgenstein; I support 'therapeutic' readings of his work by characterizing the role the literary form of his writing plays in effecting treatment of his reader. In other research I am extending this approach to the writing of Wittgenstein scholars themselves, as well as to other figures in the history of philosophy like Schopenhauer and Nietzsche (this latter work particularly influenced by the work of Stanley Cavell and others on skepticism and knowledge of others). Though I was trained in an analytic program (and have substantial background in logic and mathematics), my work on the nature of philosophical writing is meant to be friendly to philosophers in the continental tradition, as well as to any philosophy that might be studied under the heading (of Pierre Hadot's, to describe especially philosophy during the ancient period) 'philosophy as a way of life'.
