Autorenporträt
Amber Carpenter wrote her PhD on Plato's Philebus at King's College London. She taught at Oxford, St. Andrews, and the University of York, where an Anniversary Fellowship and an Einstein Fellowship (from the Einstein Forum, Potsdam) supported work on Indian Buddhist philosophy. Her monograph Indian Buddhist Philosophy appeared in 2014, the same year she moved to Yale-NUS College (Singapore). With Rachael Wiseman, she ran the Integrity Project, from 2012 to 2020, when their edited collection, Portraits of Integrity, appeared. She has held visiting research appointments/fellowships with University of Melbourne, Yale University, and the Moral Beacons Project (Templeton Religious Trust). Pierre-Julien Harter is an alumnus of the École Normale Supérieure (Paris) and the University of Chicago, and is assistant professor of philosophy and The Robert H.N. Ho Family Foundation Professor of Philosophy in Buddhist Studies at University of New Mexico. He specializes in Buddhist philosophy in India and Tibet. His research on the Buddhist concept of the path has nurtured his wide-ranging interests in different aspects of Buddhist thought, such as metaphysics and ontology, epistemology, and ethics. He also works on Indian philosophy more broadly, ancient Greek philosophy, and continental philosophy, framing his research in the larger context of philosophy by fostering conversations between different philosophical traditions and texts.
