Lecturer
My original research was on the early twentieth century German philosopher Ernst Cassirer (published in January 2009 with Princeton University Press as Ernst Cassirer: The Last Philosopher of Culture) but my interests have since shifted to moral and political philosophy. I have written essays on the institutional theory of art, the intellectual roots of neoconservatism, and the ethics of capitalism. My next book, co-written with my father Robert, is called How Much is Enough? Money and the Good Life. It will appear with Penguin in June 2012. A following book, The Language of the Virtues, has been commissioned by Princeton.
I contribute regularly to the New Statesman and Prospect on subjects including philosophy, religion and intellectual history.
