Jay Elliott

I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Bard College. I received my BA from NYU and my PhD from the University of Chicago. In addition to Bard, I have also taught at Yale University, Iona College, and the New School for Social Research. My first monograph, Character, was published in 2017. With James Conant, I edited the Norton Anthology of Western Philosophy, After Kant: The Analytic Tradition (2017). I was also a consulting editor of Diogenes Laertius: Lives of the Eminent Philosophers, edited by James Miller and translated by Pamela Mensch (2018). I have written about virtue ethics, ancient Greek philosophy, moral psychology, human-animal relationships, and philosophical aspects of fiction and film. My main current research project is Vice and the Voluntary: An Essay on Aristotle's Moral Psychology.
