Frederick Neuhouser

Frederick Neuhouser is the Viola Manderfeld Professor of German and a Professor of Philosophy at Barnard College, Columbia University.

Before joining Columbia as a faculty member, Neuhouser taught at Harvard University, University of California, San Diego and Cornell University. Neuhouser graduated from Wabash College (Crawfordsville, IN), "summa cum laude", and received his Ph.D. from Columbia University.

Neuhouser's focus is on German Idealism and continental social theory. He has published two books: "Fichte's Theory of Subjectivity" (Cambridge University Press, 1990) and "Foundations of Hegel's Social Theory: Actualizing Freedom" (Harvard University Press, 2000). The latter argues for the centrality of "social freedom" in Hegel's political thought.

His current work is centered on Rousseau, especially on notions of recognition, self-love ("amour propre") and rationality.
