Daniel Burnfin is a visiting assistant professor of philosophy at the University of the South. Before coming to Sewanee, he was a Teaching Fellow and lecturer at the University of Chicago, where he received his PhD in philosophy and Germanic studies in 2022. He specializes in the history of modern German philosophy, social and political philosophy, and the philosophy of economics and social science. His work engages with classical political economy, political realism, as well as Hegel, Marx, Keynes, and the writings of Alfred Sohn-Rethel and Oliver Cromwell Cox.
Currently, Daniel is working on a book on Marx’s Capital and Theories of Surplus Value that argues they anticipated much of the “Keynesian Revolution” and post-Keynesian macroeconomics. He is also a co-editor and translator of Sohn-Rethel’s works.
