Dylan Flint

Visiting Assistant Professor
Department of Philosophy & Religion

Dylan Flint specializes in Early Modern Philosophy, especially the 17th century German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Dylan has published on Leibniz’s theories of modality, freedom, and divine agency. He is currently co-editing a special issue for TheoLogica that showcases the contemporary relevance of Leibniz’s philosophical theology.

Beyond his interests in Early Modern Philosophy and Philosophy of Religion, Dylan has always been passionate about Ethics and Asian Philosophy. He has recently begun a project at the intersection of both, arguing that when cultivated the East Asian philosophical idea of Wu Wei (or “effortless action”) can be the perfect remedy for individuals experiencing an ethical problem known as “value capture.”

Dylan teaches a wide range of courses from Philosophy of Sports and Ethics to First Year Seminar and Buddhism. To learn more about his teaching and research, you can view his personal website at www.dylan-flint.com.
