ZACH J. JOACHIM

I'm an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Denison University. After my undergrad at Northwestern University, I spent time in Copenhagen, Boston, and Cologne before getting my PhD from Boston University.

I wonder what, exactly, philosophy is about. Through that wonder, I find myself thinking about thinking, being, non-being, life, and the first person. I also find myself reflecting on the discipline of Philosophy's pains to globalize, and reading old books.

Among the old books I read, I write about phenomenology (the 20th century tradition founded by Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger) and classical Asian philosophy (especially early Chinese thought 諸子百家). I have growing interests in Mahāyāna Buddhism 大乘.
