About
Mark W. Westmoreland teaches Philosophy at Penn State-Brandywine and Neumann University. His research interests include Continental Philosophy, Race Theory, Philosophy of History and Culture, and intersections between contemporary continental philosophy and theology. Prior to teaching, Mark earned his M.A. in Philosophy from the University of Memphis and his B.A. in Literature and Interdisciplinary Honors from Union University. Currently, he is also pursuing his second M.A. in Theology and Religious Studies at Villanova University, where he also works in the Center for Peace and Justice Education.
Currently organizing a research project on the recent interest of contemporary philosophers, e.g., Agamben, Badiou, and Zizek, on the writings of Saint Paul.
Currently working on a project of (continental) philosophy of God that resolves some of the tensions between Nietzsche, Bergson, Heidegger, Derrida, Foucault, Deleuze, and Badiou and the existence of God. On the one hand, the project is a strong rejection of thiesm. On the other hand, the notion of singularity (of multiplicity) is retained over against (quasi-ontotheological) conceptions of God as infinite difference or impossiblility as well as conceptions of the absolute as dualism.
