Bio
Garth W. Green joined the Faculty of the Department as Assistant Professor of Philosophy of Religion in 2003. He also holds a joint appointment in the School of Theology. Professor Green teaches in the areas of history of philosophy, history of theology, and the philosophy of religion. His teaching has focused on Christian Intellectual History at the undergraduate level and Philosophy of Religion at the graduate level. He has led seminars in Medieval Neo-Platonism, the Modern Philosophical Critique of Medieval Theology, German Idealism, and Contemporary Phenomenology and the 'Theological Turn.' Professor Green's research is in medieval philosophy and theology, Classical German Idealism, and post-Kantian philosophy of religion.

Professor Green has also held fellowship and research positions at the Institut fuer die Wissenschaften vom Menschen (Austria), the University of Leuven (Belgium), the Institut Catholique de Paris (France), and the Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Filosofici (Italy). He has lectured widely in both Europe and the United States, on the philosophy and philosophy of religion of Kant, Fichte, and Schelling, with reference both to their medieval theological sources or context and to their importance to contemporary work in phenomenology of religion. In addition to translation projects in French and Italian, Green's current research concerns Fichte's late philosophy of religion, or Religionslehre.
