Faculty Member, Philosophy
About
I was educated at Princeton, Northwestern, and Frankfurt Universities and taught at Washington University in St. Louis for nine years before joining the philosophy department of Utrecht University in the Netherlands in 2004. I specialize in moral psychology and social theory, and especially on issues of autonomy, agency, and normativity. The working title of the book I am currently writing is "Scaffolded Autonomy: The Construction, Impairment, and Enhancement of Human Agency."
I edited a special issue of Philosophical Explorations entitled Free Will as Part of Nature: Habermas and His Critics (March 2007, with commentaries by Searle, Quante, Clarke, and Schroeder) and co-edited, with John Christman, "Autonomy and the Challenges to Liberalism" (Cambridge UP, 2005, paperback 2009).
