Frithjof Bergmann
Professor Bergmann's interests include continental philosophy –- especially Hegel, Nietzsche, Sartre, and Existentialism generally –- and also social and political philosophy, philosophical anthropology, and philosophy of culture. His on Being Free (1977) was issued in a paperback edition in 1978 and had twelve printings. Professor Bergmann founded the Center for New Work in Flint in 1981, and has developed a number of suggestions about work as a calling and a vehicle of self-realization, in rotation with mainstream employment, and involving a self-sufficiency that technology itself makes possible. He resides in Ann Arbor and continues to write and lecture on the practical, social, and cultural implications of philosophical thought.

Stephen L. Darwall
Professor Darwall's research has concerned the foundations of ethics, moral psychology, moral theory, and the history of these subjects, primarily in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He is the author of Impartial Reason (Cornell, 1983), a theory of practical reason, The British Moralists and the Internal 'Ought': 1640-1740 (Cambridge, 1995), a discussion of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century theories of obligation and motivation, Philosophical Ethics (Westview, 1988), a textbook in moral philosophy, and Welfare and Rational Care (Princeton, 2002), on the metaethics of well-being or welfare. His most recent work on the centrality of second-personal address and authority to moral obligation and responsibility--The Second-Person Standpoint: Morality, Respect, and Accountability — was published by Harvard University Press in 2006. He is also working on a history of ethical philosophy from the seventeenth century to the present.
