معرفی
Arata Hamawaki serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy within Auburn University's College of Liberal Arts. His academic work bridges Kantian philosophy with contemporary explorations of judgment across epistemology, aesthetics, and perception, emphasizing its role as a free mental act.
Education:
- PhD, Harvard University
Research Interests: Hamawaki investigates judgment through three interconnected domains: epistemological skepticism (examining doubt and self-knowledge), perceptual representation (including interpersonal relations), and aesthetic experience. His Kant-centered framework extends into German idealism, early modern philosophy, and Wittgensteinian language analysis, with active projects on judgment autonomy, first/second-person cognition, and modernism's philosophical conditions.
Publications: His scholarly output reveals a trajectory from foundational Kantian aesthetics (2006) to Wittgensteinian educational praxis (2009), now evolving toward autonomy of judgment and modernist criticism. Key thematic threads include normative force in feeling, therapeutic reading approaches, and skepticism's relationship to transcendental arguments, consistently anchored in Kant's legacy while engaging Cavell and contemporary debates.
