Tim Flanagan

Tim Flanagan is a Lecturer in the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences at Murdoch University, affiliated with the College of Law, Arts and Social Sciences. His research focuses on philosophical aesthetics, critical metaphysics, and the history of ideas, particularly exploring post-Kantian thought and the rethinking of ontology through logology following Barbara Cassin. He holds a PhD from the University of Dundee and a BA (Hons) from the University of Queensland.

His work examines classical philosophical problems such as the mind-body relationship and the organization of matter, recontextualizing them through contemporary frameworks. His 2021 book Baroque Naturalism in Benjamin and Deleuze: The Art of Least Distances analyses how Baroque sensibilities inform modern ontological inquiry. Current research engages with Cassin's logological approach to ontology, emphasizing linguistic and conceptual boundaries.

Flanagan has published widely on topics including liminal diasporas, the intersection of technology and humanities, architectural theory, and ethical testimony in environmental contexts. His scholarship bridges philosophy with cultural studies, art history, and ecological thought. Despite no explicitly listed awards, his contributions reflect sustained engagement with interdisciplinary debates.
