Biography

Joseph Keegin is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Philosophy and a contributing editor at The Point Magazine. His dissertation, Hegel's Critiques of Morality, is written under the direction of Prof. Richard Velkley and focuses on the moral and political philosophy of G. W. F. Hegel, and what these aspects of Hegel’s thought reveal about his relationship to the so-called “quarrel of the ancients and moderns.”
