Marcus is a Ph.D., candidate in the Department of Philosophy at University at Buffalo (SUNY), and has a B.A. in Philosophy from DePaul University. His studies have focused on the history of modern German philosophy, ethics, and hermeneutics. His dissertation investigates the place of philosophical ethics within the philosophical hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer, advancing a rehabilitation of Aristotelian virtue ethics grounded in Gadamer's general hermeneutic theory of understanding. Marcus will defend his thesis in Spring 2008. He is currently a Limited-term Instructor teaching Introduction to Philosophy and Critical Thinking at the University of West Georgia.
