David Seltzer serves as an Adjunct Professor of Philosophy within Drexel University's Department of English and Philosophy, where he has taught continuously since 2016. His academic focus spans diverse philosophical traditions across historical and cultural contexts, including Ancient, Modern, Chinese, Indian, Arabic, and Jewish philosophy.
His educational background includes:
- PhD in Philosophy, Penn State University (2011)

Seltzer's research centers on the History of Philosophy with foundational expertise in Existentialism, later expanding to global philosophical systems. His work critically engages ethical frameworks through figures like Levinas and Beauvoir while exploring interreligious dialogue. This interdisciplinary approach bridges Western and Eastern philosophical thought, emphasizing comparative analysis of justice, religious ethics, and existential themes across cultural boundaries.
His publication record reveals consistent scholarly engagement with philosophical ethics and historical analysis since 2007. Key thematic clusters include Levinasian ethics applied to intercultural dialogue, existentialist interpretations of religious texts (notably Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling), and feminist perspectives on justice. These works demonstrate methodological versatility across continental philosophy, religious studies, and cross-cultural analysis while maintaining historical rigor.
