Biography

Thomas Pendlebury's principal research interests are in the theoretical and practical philosophy of Kant and its connection to early modern European philosophy and post-Kantian German idealism. He is especially concerned with the character of Kant's positive projects in the critical period, the expression of the constitution and prosecution of these projects by the expository structure of his critical works, and the conception of philosophy which these works exemplify. His teaching interests extend to the history of western philosophy in general.

Pendlebury joined the Department in July 2023. From 2021 to 2023 he was Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh. He received his PhD in Philosophy from Harvard University.
