Jeremy DeLong (Ph.D. Philosophy, 2016; MA Classics, 2014) will be
Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Fort Hays State University
beginning Fall 2018. Jeremy’s dissertation ("Parmenides’ Theistic
Metaphysics”) offered a novel attempt to unify Parmenides’s poem,
as a Xenophanean-style criticism of traditional mythopoetic views
concerning divine nature. His previous contribution to the Heritage of
Western Greece book series was drawn from this research: “From
Ionian Speculation to Eleatic Deduction: Parmenides’ Xenophanean-
Based Theism,” Politics and Performance in Western Greece, 2017. Other
publications on Parmenides include: “Parmenides,” Internet
Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2016; “Rearranging Parmenides: B1: 31-32
and a Case for an Entirely Negative Doxa (Opinion),” Southwest
Philosophy Review 31.1 (2015). Beyond Parmenidean studies, Jeremy
has broad research interests in ancient Greek philosophy—
particularly the social/political views of Plato and Aristotle—as well
as publications in modern philosophy (“Van Cleve and the Neglected
Alternative [in Kant],” Auslegung 30.1, 2009), and on philosophy in
film (“Star Trek: Into Darkness—Ethical Impartiality, Partiality, and
the Need for a Male/Female Synthesis.” Film & Philosophy 19, 2015.
