My research is centered on the tradition that began with Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason in 1781 and that continued through the writings of J.G. Fichte and G.W.F. Hegel. I have published a study of Hegel's theory of practical reason (Hegel's Conscience) and articles on a range of topics in Kant, Fichte and Hegel. A second book on Hegel's practical philosophy -- Hegel's Value: Justice as the Living Good -- is forthcoming from Oxford. My work in progress includes further projects on Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit and Science of Logic, as well as a book connecting recent treatments of Moore’s Paradox to the issues around self-deception and alienation in the German Idealist tradition. I am also working on a project on Moby-Dick and an article on the women philosophers of American transcendentalism.
