Kenny Walden is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Dartmouth College, focusing on the intersections of ethics, aesthetics, and agency. His work explores how creative processes shape human agency, the normative foundations of respect, and the social-historical dimensions of moral thought. Walden employs Kantian frameworks while engaging with Freudian and Quinean ideas to address foundational questions in practical reasoning.
- Education: Ph.D. in Philosophy from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and A.B. in Philosophy from Harvard College.
