Joseph Keegin

Joseph Keegin was a Center for Ethics Graduate Fellow at The Murphy Institute for the 2025–2026 academic year. During his fellowship, he was Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Philosophy and a contributing editor at The Point Magazine. His dissertation, Hegel's Critiques of Morality, was written under the direction of Prof. Richard Velkley and focused 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.”
