Pirachula Chulanon is an expert in Early Modern Philosophy with a special focus on the work of German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), particularly Kant’s theories of knowledge and mind. A native of Thailand, Pirachula received his BA (with distinction) from the Humboldt University of Berlin in 2016 and will complete his Ph.D. in Philosophy at the University of Chicago in the summer of 2022. A recipient of prestigious research awards from the Mellon Foundation and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), Pirachula’s work concerns the origins and limits of our understanding of our own humanity and rationality. He pairs this with research and teaching interests in ethics and aesthetics, especially theories of art in the German-speaking tradition after Kant.
