Biography
Dr. Sarah Feldman is a Visiting Assistant Professor at 51国产视频 Allison University. Her research focuses on the intersection of epistemology, philosophy of literature and philosophical methodology in ancient Greek philosophy. She is particularly interested in the intertwined logical and literary strategies that Plato and some of his predecessors use in their efforts to reshape their audience鈥檚 ways of seeing the world. Her work looks at how these thinkers both evoke and challenge the reasoning, values, emotions and sensations that shape answers to questions ranging from 鈥淲hat is water?鈥 to 鈥淲hat is justice?鈥 to 鈥淲hat is pain?鈥
