Novalis: Philosophical, Literary, and Poetic Writings

James D. Reid is Professor of Philosophy at the Metropolitan State University of Denver. His research is interdisciplinary, drawing from philosophical, artistic, and scientific sources. His work is devoted to problems in axiology and the theory of meaning and the challenges of finding fitting ways of expressing the importance of what we care about. He has published widely on various philosophical issues in Kant and his successors in the 19th and 20th centuries. He is the recipient of two major grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
