Jacob Stump

In my research, I write about Plato. I am interested in Socrates’ project of changing what people value the most. I am also interested in Platonic moral psychology, in particular eros, hot cognition, and the activity of epimeleisthai (taking care of, caring about).

In my teaching, I acquaint students with philosophy as a way of life. Some of my courses are in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, and others are in ethics and the philosophy of mind.

I am an associate editor of Philosophers’ Imprint.

Here is my CV.
