Nicolás García Mills

I am currently a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at Binghamton University. Before coming to Binghamton, I was an Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral research fellow at the Freie Universität Berlin and, before that, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. I have also taught at Tufts University and at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). I received my PhD from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in 2019.

My research focuses primarily on the history of moral, social and political philosophy in the post-Kantian tradition. My current work includes three research projects, respectively devoted to (1) Hegel’s ethical views; (2) the social theories of Hegel, Marx, and the Frankfurt School; and (3) 20th-century Latin American philosophy. Each of these projects is concerned in one way or another with the broader question: In what ways are we free (or unfree) and how do our animal nature and the natural and social worlds outside us bear on our capacity for freedom and its exercise?
