Biography:

Professor Harvey is a native of Southern California and one way or the other has always returned from colder climates to the warmth and light of the Golden State.

Research Interests:

My interests are in post-Kantian philosophy, especially the branch of vitalism that began with Schopenhauer and its influence on Wagner and Nietzsche. I'm specifically interested in Wagner's philosophical influence on Nietzsche. I’m also interested in the schools of Asian (Indian) philosophy, especially the doctrines of Buddhism and the Vedanta. I'm especially motivated by the epistemic questions that are implied in the doctrine of Liberation.
