JOHN RICHARDSON (Ph.D., UC Berkeley), Professor of
Philosophy. He works primarily in 19th and 20th century Continental
philosophy, in particular on Nietzsche and Heidegger. He has a strong
secondary interest in ancient philosophy, especially in Aristotle.
Recently he has focused on issues concerning teleology in these
philosophers, and has explored relations with recent philosophy of
biology and evolutionary theory.
He is the author of Existential
Epistemology; A Heideggerian Critique of the Cartesian Project
(Oxford, 1986), Nietzsche's
System (Oxford, 1996), and Nietzsche's
New Darwinism (Oxford, 2004). He is a co-editor of Nietzsche
(2001) in the series Oxford Readings in Philosophy.
