Research summary

I have two main areas of interest. The first is nineteenth-century German philosophy, especially Nietzsche and Schopenhauer. My book, Nietzsche's Ethics, and an edited volume, The New Cambridge Companion to Nietzsche, are both forthcoming with Cambridge University Press.

The second is aesthetics, especially the philosophy of theatre. My first book was Philosophy and Theatre (Routledge, 2013). The book examines a series of philosophical questions or concerns which arise in relation to theatre. I also edited a volume of essays: The Philosophy of Theatre, Drama and Acting (Rowman and Littlefield International, 2017).
