About

Kirby joined the Philosophy Program in 2008. His general research interests are in the history of philosophy and comparative thought. He is particularly interested in ancient thinkers who drew insights from exploring nature – such as Aristotle and the Daoist sage, Zhuangzi – as well as more recent philosophers who have combined such insights with scientific or aesthetic modes of thought, like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, Arne Næss, and John Dewey.

Kirby is also the faculty sponsor to the Transcendental Apathetic (EWU’s Philosophy club).
