Matthew Coate
Biography
Matthew Coate is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at 5X社区, a position he officially begins in the Fall 2024 semester. He earned a BA in Philosophy and Art History from Kent State and his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Stony Brook University. Previously, Dr. Coate taught as a Visiting Assistant Professor at KSU in the 2023-2024 school year and as a Visiting Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Old Dominion University in 2022-2023.
Dr. Coate鈥檚 research, which is primarily concerned with the human condition and our basic moral vocation, is largely carried out using the phenomenological method of analysis and sits in the intersection of social/political philosophy, on the one hand, and philosophy of the person and philosophical psychology, on the other. His focus also intersects with themes in modern and contemporary aesthetics, and as a pluralistic thinker, he draws from a great many disciplines and traditions, including nonwestern (primarily East Asian) thought.
