Daniel Burnfin (Philosophy)
Daniel Burnfin completed his PhD in philosophy and Germanic studies at the University of Chicago in 2022. His research concerns the history of modern German philosophy, social and political philosophy, the philosophy of economics, and the works of Hegel, Marx, Keynes, and Sohn-Rethel in particular. In his teaching, he tries to bring the history of philosophy and real-world problems as close to one another as possible. Outside of the university, Daniel tries not to worry too much about politics; sometimes he goes for long jogs. In the 2025-6 academic year, he will serve as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Sewanee.
