    Daniel Rodriguez-Navas

    Profile

    **On leave Fall 2024**

    Daniel Rodriguez-Navas works at the intersection of ethics and the history of philosophy. His interest in ethics lies both on theoretical and meta-theoretical questions about the nature of normativity, and on more concrete questions concerning what many think of as mechanisms of exclusion and what the best strategies for dismantling them might be. His historical interests center around the 19th and 20th-century European tradition. His work on the history of philosophy has centered around Nietzsche's views about values and his genealogical approach to morality, and on Foucault’s work on ethics and his views about subjectivity and autonomy. More recently, Daniel has developed an interest in narrative approaches to selfhood, insofar as these offer the conceptual resources to move away from the individualist conception of selfhood that has been dominant in the ethical tradition. He has also been working on an article on the politics of narrative film.
