Biography
Magnus Imber is a first-year doctoral student. His research focuses on the difficulties posed by liberalism in interpreting and engaging with pre-modern texts and traditions. His research draws on G.W.F. Hegel, Charles Taylor, and others. In particular, he is interested in the extent to which moderns can live non-modern lives, what constitutes an authentic reading of pre-modern works of philosophy and theology, and whether such an authentic reading is even possible. At Western Michigan University, he has taught courses on political philosophy, philosophy of law, and deductive logic. He has also served as an editorial assistant for a bioethics textbook and organized several philosophy conferences.
