Benjamin Michael Miller is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Illinois. His research primarily focuses on the role of democratic citizenship and the obligations of citizens in maintaining a well-functioning democracy. He has a particular interest in Aristotle's conception of good citizenship and the implications of virtue within the framework of liberal democracy. His forthcoming book, 'Aristotelian Character Education: Practical Wisdom, Flourishing, Liberal Democracy', aims to explore the intersection of political philosophy and empirical political science. He is actively engaged in interdisciplinary work, seeking to bridge traditional philosophical theories of good citizenship with contemporary empirical research on political behavior. Miller's work delves into the historical and theoretical contexts that inform our understanding of citizenship today, particularly in light of contemporary challenges to democratic values. He teaches several courses, including Introductory Political Theory and Ancient Philosophy, while also contributing to the Political Science department.
