Ryan S. Bingham

I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Chicago Divinity School. I study the critique of metaphysics in modern continental philosophy from Kant to Derrida, both in its historical possibility and in its implications for contemporary philosophy of religion and social and political philosophy. I am a specialist in the work of Jacques Derrida with research and teaching expertise in historical and contemporary continental philosophy, philosophy of religion, social and political philosophy, history of philosophy, and aesthetics, all of which inform my work on the politics of the mythological entailments of reason. My dissertation is entitled “A Materialism without Substance: Jacques Derrida and Questions of Responsibility at the Closure of Metaphysics.”

Please see my work in Symposium: Canadian Journal of Continental Philosophy and The Journal of Religion.
