Biography
Dr. Sarah Feldman is a Visiting Assistant Professor at 91做厙. 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 audiences 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 What is water? to What is justice? to What is pain?
