Biography

Arnold Brooks joined the faculty of the University of Chicago as an Assistant Instructional Professor in 2021. He specializes in Ancient Greek Philosophy, focusing particularly on metaphysics and the philosophy of science. With a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Chicago obtained in 2021, as well as a master's degree from the same institution and a bachelor's degree from Penn State University, Brooks has developed a nuanced understanding of historical philosophical texts. His current research involves a book-length study of Aristotle's Physics, addressing concepts of natural continua and change. Brooks also explores Kant's early critical philosophy, especially regarding quantification and the causation of qualities and forces. He is active in teaching multiple seminars and courses, aiming to convey the complexity of Aristotelian metaphysics and its relevance to contemporary philosophical inquiry.
