Wilson H Shearin serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Classics within the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Miami. His academic profile demonstrates a sustained engagement with ancient philosophical texts, particularly focusing on Lucretius' De Rerum Natura and related works in the Epicurean tradition.
Professor Shearin's research interests center on the intersection of ancient philosophy, literary theory, and reception studies. His work explores how concepts like the sublime function within Lucretian and Senecan cosmological writings, examining both the philosophical implications and literary techniques employed by these ancient authors. He demonstrates particular expertise in textual criticism, as evidenced by his detailed analyses of specific passages in Lucretius' work.
His publication record reveals consistent scholarly output spanning from 2010 to 2019, with a concentration of work around 2012-2014. The articles demonstrate a thematic progression from close textual analysis of Lucretius toward broader reception studies examining how ancient philosophical ideas have been interpreted and transformed through history. His work bridges classical philology with contemporary philosophical concerns, as seen in his exploration of connections between Epicurus and Nietzsche, and Deleuze's relevance to understanding ancient concepts of language.
Professor Shearin has engaged in collaborative scholarly work, co-editing volumes such as Dynamic reading: studies in the reception of Epicureanism with Brooke Holmes. His publication record includes both original research articles and critical reviews of significant scholarly works in the field.
