Director, Center for Catholic Studies
Core Curriculum
Gregory Floyd specializes in 19th and 20th century European philosophy. His scholarship focuses on the history and methodology of phenomenology and hermeneutics, as well as the philosophy of religion. He has written about the way in which religious claims and traditions provide an opportunity for philosophy to reflect on the particular nature of its own investigation in terms of both its limits and its possibilities. His recent publications include, "Between Liberale Theologie and Religionsphilosophie: A New Perspective on Heidegger's Phenomenology of Religious Life," is published in Perspectiven mit Heidegger, (Vienna: Verlag Karl Alber), and "Between Idealism and Phenomenology: Kierkegaard on Religious Temporality" in On Time: Philosophical, Theological, and Literary Investigations (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2016). More broadly, his areas of teaching and scholarship include the history of philosophy, philosophy and literature, and the thought of Bernard Lonergan.
