James Emery

James Emery received a bachelor’s degree (2016) and Master of Arts (2020) in philosophy from the University of Oregon. His research focuses on the metaphysics and epistemology of the French thinker, Gilles Deleuze. This research also brings him into the orbit, quite frequently, of Bergson, Spinoza, and Nietzsche, primarily around the questions of metaphysics and philosophical method. More generally, he carries an interest in 20th century French and German metaphysical thought, 17th and 18th century rationalism, and questions concerning temporality and the emergence of novelty. Outside of philosophy, his interests include athletics (especially tennis), birding, health, and visiting the National Parks.
