Professor Peter Osborne

About

I studied Philosophy and Economics at the University of Bristol in the late 1970s and took a MA and a DPhil in Philosophy at the University of Sussex (The Carnival of Philosophy: Philosophy, Politics and Positive Science in Hegel and Marx.) From 1992 to 2010 I taught post-Kantian Philosophy and Art Theory at Middlesex University, mainly to postgraduates, founding the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP) in 1995. In summer 2010, I moved to Kingston, along with three of my colleagues in the CRMEP, the taught postgraduate programmes and PhD students. From 1983 to 2016 I was an editor of the journal Radical Philosophy. I have held Visiting professorships at the University of Paris-8 (2012, 2014, 2019), The Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm (2015) and Yale School of Art (2017).
