Early Modern Philosophy
Moral Philosophy
Michael LeBuffe writes primarily on the moral theories of Hobbes and Spinoza. His book, From Bondage to Freedom: Spinoza on Human Excellence (Oxford, forthcoming) offers accounts of Spinoza’s theories of imagination, error, and conation, and it describes the ways in which those theories contribute to his conceptions of good, evil, and perfection. Both in the history of philosophy and also in contemporary moral theory, LeBuffe is concerned with human psychology and epistemology and the ways in which facts about us and our knowledge constrain or otherwise inform theories of value.
