About
Judith Jones is a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Fordham University. Her work bridges metaphysics, ethics, and the history of philosophy, with a focus on process philosophy, American philosophers like Dewey and James, and the interplay between metaphysical frameworks and ethical inquiry.
Education:
- BA in Philosophy, Fordham University
- MA and PhD in Philosophy, Emory University
Research Interests: Jones explores metaphysical questions such as individualism vs. holism, monism vs. pluralism, and naturalism's role in 20th-century thought. Her ethical work examines agency, value theory, and the role of 'moral attention.' She critically engages Whitehead, Dewey, and Santayana to reconstruct metaphysical foundations for contemporary ethical debates.
Publications Trends: Her writings synthesize process philosophy with ethical theory, often revisiting foundational texts (e.g., Whitehead's Religion in the Making) to argue for metaphysics' relevance to practical ethics. Recent works highlight rhythmic and experiential dimensions of thought, bridging continental and analytic traditions.
