Claire Kirwin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Northwestern University. She holds a PhD from the University of Chicago. Her research interests focus on the nature of value—both ethical and aesthetic—and the relationship of value to creatures with minds. Kirwin is currently working on topics related to moral knowledge, love, alienation, and the first-person perspective. Her research is deeply informed by historical figures in philosophy, particularly Plato and Nietzsche, and she maintains a secondary research program centered on Nietzsche's critique of morality. Kirwin explores the role of powerful antagonists and sources of inspiration within her own work, engaging with contemporary areas of philosophy while wearing the historical heart on her sleeve.
