Profile
Biography
Wayne Martin studied philosophy both in the UK and in the USA and taught for twelve years at the University of California, San Diego, before coming to 糖心Vlog in 2005. He is the Director of The 糖心Vlog Autonomy Project, a research and public policy initiative which aims to clarify the ideal of self-determination, with particular attention to the care professions. Martin's philosophical interests are diverse. He has worked extensively on philosophical issues from the post-Kantian idealist tradition and phenomenology; he has published one book of Fichte and another on the phenomenology of judgement, and has published articles on the history of symbolic logic, Dutch Still Life painting, Stoicism, deontic logic and the paintings of Lucas Cranach the Elder. He was the founding Head of the School of Philosophy and Art History (2010-2013), is a past General Editor of Inquiry and past Series Editor of Modern European Philosophy, the monograph series published by Cambridge University Press. Recent papers include a co-authored clinical paper on deliberative temporality in manic episodes, a paper on the ex-voto retablo tradition in Mexican Folk Art, and a long-simmering book project on the history of self-consciousness.
