Hyperautobiography

I was born in 1964 in Madrid, and spent several years there, off and on, as I was growing up. My father is a professor of Spanish literature. When we weren't in Spain, my family lived in Oakland, California. I attended the University of California at Berkeley and majored in philosophy, then got my Ph.D. from the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago. I'm now in the philosophy department at Xavier University in Cincinnati. My specialty is the thought of Martin Heidegger (I'm the author of Heidegger: An Introduction). I've also translated Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols (Hackett Publishing Co., 1997) and am interested in Plato. On the more frivolous side, I enjoy antique typewriters, jazz of the thirties, and Art Deco. I've been married since 1989 to Julie Gifford, a genius/goddess who teaches in the Department of Comparative Religion at Miami University of Ohio and specializes in the history of Buddhism. Our daughter, Amelia, was born on December 7, 1999.
