Associate Fellow

Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Richmond

Brannon McDaniel is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Richmond. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in 2009, and much of his past research has been devoted to problems in contemporary analytic metaphysics. He is currently investigating the philosophical foundations of many issues that arise in secular modernity, such as the contemporary nature of moral and religious beliefs in light of what Charles Taylor calls the “cross-pressures” generated by various competing commitments; and how best to understand the transcendent in light of the ongoing project of disenchantment.
