Zachary Davis

Zachary Davis serves as Associate Professor and Assistant Chair of the Philosophy Department within St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at St. John's University, where he has held faculty positions since 2007.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Philosophy from Southern Illinois University (2006)
• M.A. in Philosophy from Southern Illinois University (1997)

Dr. Davis's scholarly work centers on recent European philosophy with specialized expertise in phenomenology and environmental philosophy. His research critically examines intersections between social-political theory, ethical frameworks, and ecological crisis through continental philosophical traditions. Particular attention is given to Max Scheler's political thought and phenomenological analyses of solidarity, consumption patterns, and environmental degradation.

Publication trends reveal sustained engagement with phenomenological approaches to contemporary social challenges, especially regarding environmental crisis resolution and political solidarity formation. His work consistently bridges classical European philosophy with urgent modern ecological concerns through analyses of love, apathy, leisure practices, and intersubjective bonds.

Notable research support includes:

• Fulbright grant enabling doctoral research at Universität Wuppertal, Germany (2001-2002)
• Research grant for archival work at Universität Zürich, Switzerland (1999)

Dr. Davis's scholarly trajectory demonstrates substantial grant acquisition for international archival research while developing book manuscripts on Scheler's political philosophy. His publication record indicates active mentorship in philosophy graduate programs through sustained contributions to phenomenological and environmental philosophy discourse.
