Research Interests

Richard works on political philosophy within the Continental tradition, with a focus on Frankfurt School Critical Theory; contemporary moral and ethical theory; philosophies of postmodernity and postcolonialism; environmental ethics; philosophies of justice and democratic governance; and psychoanalysis. He is especially interested in the intersections between Jürgen Habermas’s discourse-ethical model, Axel Honneth’s recognition theory, and the deconstructive care ethics of Jacques Derrida.
