damienp@umich.edu
Damien combines attention to the canon of political philosophy with an openness to and exploration of works of history, fiction, and drama. Put differently, he tries to explore some of the central themes of political philosophy using materials drawn broadly from the humanities and social sciences. Damien is especially interested in questions of political knowledge and knowledge claims about political life. He has explored these interests in and through projects involving the Federalist Papers, Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Hobbes' Leviathan, and Christopher Marlowe's The Jew of Malta.
