Donovan Miyasaki is Professor of Philosophy at Wright State University and lives in Yellow Springs, Ohio. His teaching and research interests include moral psychology, ethics, and political philosophy in the post-Kantian European tradition, particularly Nietzsche, Marx, Beauvoir, and Freud.
His articles have appeared in Journal of Moral Philosophy, Journal of Medical Ethics, History of Philosophy Quarterly, Journal of Nietzsche Studies, and Nietzsche-Studien. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 2004 and his B.A. from the Colorado College in 1997.
His two-volume study Nietzsche's Immoralism: Politics as First Philosophy and Politics After Morality: Toward a Nietzschean Left (Palgrave Macmillan 2022) argues that Nietzsche's aristocratic politics is inconsistent with his core philosophical committments to determinism and immoralism. It critically reconstructs Nietzsche's theories of justice and rights as the potential ground for a non-liberal, democratic, and socialist politics.
