Biography

Maya Krishnan works on Kant and German Idealism. Her scholarly work focuses on Kant's and Hegel's theology, examining how their theological views inform our understanding of their overall philosophical systems. Her projects in this area concern Kant's theories of the divine intellect and how these relate to Kant's broader accounts of cognition and volition. Her contemporary work defends views inspired by German Idealist thinkers in current debates in ethics and epistemology. Furthermore, her projects explore the intelligibility of autonomy and combine her scholarly interests with contemporary investigations into the afterlife of theological ideas within secular philosophical debates about knowledge and freedom.
