Author: Kleiner
Associate Vice Provost and Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Utah State University. I teach across the curriculum, but am most interested in continental philosophy, ancient and medieval philosophy as well as Catholic thought, all of which might be summed up as an interest in the ressourcement tradition (returning in order to make progress). I also enjoy spending time thinking about liberal education and its ends.
Special Lecture
I am very pleased to announce an upcoming guest lecture. Our very own Michael Otteson, USU alum now pursuing his PhD in philosophy at the University of Kansas, will be here on Thursday, Jan 15 to present a paper titled “Augustine and Constructive Memory.” 4:30-5:30pm in Main 207. Should be very interesting!
