Tom Rockmore, Ph.D.

Tom Rockmore is American by birth, and French by marriage. He has studied and/or taught in the US, France, Germany, Canada, and China. He currently has a dual appointment at Duquesne University and at Peking University (Beijing).

A Professor of Philosophy and a McAnulty College Distinguished Professor, Dr. Rockmore's current research interests encompass all of modern philosophy, with special emphasis on selected problems as well as figures in German idealism (Kant, Fichte, Hegel, Marx) and recent continental philosophy (Heidegger, Habermas, Lukacs). He is continuing to explore the epistemology of German idealism as well as the relation between philosophy and politics. His most recent work concerns a new theory of knowledge as intrinsically historical.
