Dylan Flint

Visiting Assistant Professor
Department of Philosophy & Religion

Dylan Flint is a passionate educator with a wide range of interests, including Normative, Professional, and Applied Ethics, Asian Religions, Philosophy of Religion, and Metaphysics. His background is in the History of Philosophy, having published on Leibniz’s theories of modality, freedom, and divine agency.

He is currently working on a number of projects, including a project at the intersection of Professional Ethics and Asian Religions. He argues that cultivating a Wu Wei (or “effortless action”) mindset can be the perfect remedy for individuals experiencing an ethical problem, often occurring in the workplace, known as “value capture.”

Having lived in China and practiced Buddhism for a number of years, Dylan is excited to share and explore the wisdom of the East with students at Otterbein.
