Welcome to my home page! I am Emeritus Professor of Philosophy in the Philosophy Department at McGill University. I am also an affiliate of the School of Religious Studies at McGill University.
I specialize in German Idealism, Nineteenth Century Philosophy, Phenomenology (Husserl and Merleau-Ponty) and Philosophy of Religion.
A current CV can be found here, and a selection of papers here
For my recent work and thoughts:

This is a sequel of Freedom and Religion in Kant and His Immediate Successors: The Vocation of Humankind, 1774-1800 (Cambridge, 2005). I have added abstracts of the new book and of each chapter individually under here.
