FACULTY FELLOW

Daniel Wagner, PhD

I am an Associate Professor, Chair of Philosophy, and Director of Catholic Studies at Aquinas College, in Grand Rapids, MI. I received my Doctorate in Philosophy from the Center for Thomistic Studies, at the University of St. Thomas. My research focuses on the Philosophy of Nature and Science, Philosophical Anthropology, and the principles of Ethics in Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas (Dissertation: φύσις καί τὸ ἀνθρώπινον ἀγαθόν: The Aristotelian Foundations of the Human Good), and on the synthetic development of Aristotelian and Thomistic philosophy with Phenomenology (“Penitential Method as Phenomenological: The Penitential ἐποχή,” and “On the Foundational Compatibility of Phenomenology & Thomism,” in Studia Gilsoniana).

With John P. Hittinger, I co-edited Thomas Aquinas: Teacher of Humanity (London, UK: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2015), and I worked alongside Hittinger and Michael W. Tkacz on a volume of essays by the late Thomist and philosopher of nature and science, William Wallace: The Intelligibility of Nature: The Wallace Reader (Washington D.C.: Catholic University of America Press, 2023).
