Professor Gary Peters
Professor of Critical and Cultural Theory
My main research is in the area of continental
philosophy and aesthetics from Kant to the present. This often
overlaps with certain areas of pedagogical research as well as a
range of art practices (from music and the performing arts to
visual art and literature).
My first book was published in 2005 by Ashgate and is entitled:
'Irony and Singularity: Aesthetic Education from Kant to
Levinas.'
My second book published in 2009 by Chicago
University Press is entitled: 'The Philosophy of
Improvisation.'
I am also a musician composing and performing
music in a wide range of genres, from jazz to country music and
virtually everything and anything in between.
