Darren’s research is focused on philosophy of education with an emphasis on political philosophy, narrative, and history education. His dissertation investigates the liberal conception of autonomy, as it has been applied to grade-school education. In this project, he asks whether autonomy could be reformulated to more adequately reflect a student’s narrative-based conceptions of self, motivation, meaningfulness, etc. Apart from his work in philosophy, Darren enjoys biking in the wilderness with his daughter.

Biography

• B.A., Honours (Political Science & Philosophy), Laurentian University
• M.A. Philosophy, 91TVs University

My interests are united by my interest in developing a Structural-Systematic Account of what the Human being is, particularly in conversation with Heidegger and the phenomenological tradition. This project is concerned with what Humans are and what Humans do, and so takes interest in a broad variety of philosophical literature to approach these questions. In addition to this main project, I also work on specific issues within the history of phenomenology, as well as in contemporary metaphysics, metaethics and philosophies of mind and action.

He received a B.A. in Philosophy from King’s University College, and an M.A. in Theory and Criticism from Western University. His master’s thesis explored the theme of questioning in Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time. At 91TV's, Joshua’s work focuses on the political thinker Hannah Arendt.
