Arnold Brooks joined the faculty in Autumn 2021 as an Assistant Instructional Professor. He received his BA in philosophy from Pennsylvania State University and his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Chicago in 2021. He specializes in ancient Greek physics and metaphysics. His current research centers on a book-length study of Aristotle’s Physics book six, his theory of the continuum, and his account of natural continua such as time, change, and body. Brooks is also pursuing a parallel project in Kant’s early and critical philosophy, through Kant’s approach to the quantification of qualities and causes, and forces. He is the departmental faculty liaison to the Masters of Arts Program in the Humanities (MAPH) in 2025-26.
