Maya Krishnan

Maya Krishnan works on Kant and German Idealism. Her scholarly work focuses on Kant’s and Hegel’s theology and examines how their theological views can inform our understanding of their overall philosophical systems. One of her projects in this area concerns how Kant’s theories of the divine intellect and the divine will relate to Kant’s broader accounts of cognition and volition. Her contemporary work defends views inspired by German Idealist thinkers within current debates in ethics and epistemology. Her projects in this area deal with intelligibility and autonomy. She also combines her scholarly and contemporary interests by investigating the afterlife of theological ideas within secular philosophical debates on knowledge and freedom.
