Joshua Forstenzer

Joshua's doctoral research seeks to bring John Dewey's conceptions of democracy and citizenship to bear on contemporary debates relating to method in political philosophy; specifically, he aims to argue that Dewey provides an account of democratic political processes which can prove to be useful for political philosophers seeking to engage with political practice. More generally though, he is interested in political philosophy, the history of political thought, American Pragmatism, ethics and social philosophy. Joshua also has interests in continental philosophy, the philosophy of social science and the philosophy of education.

Richard Healey

My Interests are in political and moral philosophy. Specifically, I am interested in the way in which individuals alter the normative situation by employing the power of consent. We generally assume that individuals do possess the power, and this idea often does a lote of heavy lifting in political and moral philosophy. In my thesis I consider what the limits of the power of consent might be.

Jan Kandiyali

My interests are in social and political philsosophy and it's history. My PhD focuses on Karl Marx's vision of the good life, a vision that is potent but also notoriously unspecified and opaque. It clarifies and elucidates the idea of a society of mutally producing individuals, and argues that a particular account of this society - specifically, the account which Marx puts forward in concluding passage to his Notes on James Mill - puts forward a highly original and potentially attractive conception of the good life, one which can answer a number of problems facing Marx's later and generally more well-known accounts of communism. I am on the organising committee of the Marx and Philosophy Society, and I'm the editorial assistant of the European Journal of Philosophy.

Inga Vermeulen

Inga's thesis is a pragmatist defence of the ideal of conceptual clarity. She argues that explication in a roughly Carnapian sense rather than conceptual analysis or experiment is the appropriate method to clarify concepts. She thinks that conceptual clarification can be of great value, provided that it is motivated by and geared towards our justified theoretical or practical aims. She hopes to offer a new perspective on a core part of philosophical practice and to suggest a way in which philosophical endeavours may contribute to the wider society.
