Peter Paul Cvek, Ph.D. serves as Professor of Philosophy at Saint Peter's University, where he maintains an office in Hilsdorf Hall, Room 205. His academic career spans multiple areas of philosophical inquiry with particular emphasis on ethical frameworks and historical philosophical systems.
Dr. Cvek's research interests encompass a wide spectrum of philosophical domains including ethics and political philosophy, with specialized focus on the history of natural law theory and early modern moral philosophy, particularly the classical liberal philosophy of John Locke. His scholarly pursuits also extend to Asian philosophy, especially the theory and practice of yoga, medical ethics, and value pluralism. This diverse research portfolio reflects his commitment to exploring philosophical questions across cultural and historical contexts.
Dr. Cvek has contributed to scholarly discourse through publications in respected journals such as Vera Lex: Journal of the International Natural Law Society, Journal of Ultimate Reality and Meaning, Zbornik Radova: Pravnog Fakulteta U Splitu (Croatia), Review of Politics, Canadian Philosophical Reviews, Auslegung: A Journal of Philosophy, and the American Philosophical Association's Newsletter on Teaching Philosophy. His additional certification in Yoga History, Philosophy, and Literature from Traditional Yoga Studies under Dr. George Feuerstein demonstrates his interdisciplinary approach to philosophical inquiry.
His teaching philosophy emphasizes critical examination of underlying conceptual models that shape human experience, drawing on Isaiah Berlin's insights about bringing unconscious assumptions into conscious reflection. This pedagogical approach informs his instruction across multiple undergraduate philosophy courses.
