I am Associate Professor in Philosophy at the University of the Witwatersrand, and Head of Department. My work is primarily in ethics and ancient Greek philosophy, though I have a growing interest in African philosophy.

My first book, Socrates' Search for Wisdom: An Exegetical Theory, was published by Routledge in 2025. It offers a new interpretation of what Socrates was doing in Plato's early dialogues — one that takes seriously the idea that he teaches by attempting to learn. https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9780367814281/socrates-search-wisdom-dylan-futter
