Dmitri Nikulin (born 1962) is a philosopher and Professor of Philosophy at The New School for Social Research in New York City, New York, US.[1] He was a Visiting Professor at the École pratique des hautes études, Paris and the École des hautes études en sciences sociales, Paris, as well as a Fellow at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften in Bad Homburg, Germany.[2][3]
Education career
editHe obtained a PhD from the Institute for Philosophy of the Academy of Sciences, Moscow, in 1990.[4]
Philosophical work
editHis work focuses on ancient Greek philosophy, philosophy of history, philosophy of dialogue, and the critique of modern subjectivity.[1] Nikulin has published on a wide range of subjects, including comedy, dialogue,[5] history, memory,[6] boredom, and imagination.
A discussion of his 2019 book, The Concept of History (2019), was featured in a part-special issue of Existenz: An International Journal in Philosophy, Religion, Politics, and the Arts, with six critical responses by Jeffrey Bernstein, Alfredo Ferrarin, John Garner, Adam Graves, Sonja Tanner, and Massimiliano Tomba, as well as in a "Author Meets Critics" panel on the book.[7] Cornel West writes that Nikulin's most recent monograph, Critique of Bored Reason (2022), "is not only a definitive philosophical treatment of boredom as a modern phenomenon but also a courageous and visionary defense of the dialogical, comic, and radically democratic ways of being in our dark times!".[8]
