Curtis Bowman

I received my Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania in 1993 and then spent ten years teaching in the Philadelphia area. Most of the time I taught at the University of Pennsylvania, but I also did some teaching at LaSalle University, Bryn Mawr College, and Haverford College.

These days I work as an independent scholar. My research interests include the history of German philosophy, aesthetics, and contemporary continental thought.

If you're so inclined, you can read my academic autobiography. It's almost as grim as the image to the left but not nearly as beautiful.

You might also want to visit my homepage. My CV, which contains a complete bibliography of my publications, will give you a better idea of my scholarly interests.

In early 2010 Yolanda Estes and I published J. G. Fichte and the Atheism Dispute (1798-1800), a volume of translations and commentary devoted to an important episode in Fichte's philosophical career.

In late 2011 Brandeis University Press brought out an anthology entitled Moses Mendelssohn: Writings on Judaism, Christianity, and the Bible. I provided the new translations from German.

As to email, I read whatever I receive, but in recent years I've had trouble with a pinched nerve in my back, necessitating that I limit the amount of typing that I do at my computer. Therefore, unfortunately, I can't promise that I'll be able to reply to your message. But I'll try.
