Profile

Gwenda-lin Grewal is the Onassis Lecturer in Ancient Greek Thought and Language &听 Assistant Professor of Ancient听Philosophy听at NSSR.

For me, philosophy involves a dialogue between the ordinary and the strange. This is played out between self and world and self and self in the tension between thinking and being鈥攁 tension that, if we are to believe Socrates in 笔濒补迟辞鈥檚听Phaedo, would be best resolved by practicing "dying and being dead." At its least morbid, this would mean devoting oneself paradoxically to neutralizing one's own bias and interest, a task which seems to bring with it a curious (yet damning) pleasure, when one discovers one鈥檚 own estrangement in a moment of insight or connection. Philosophy must be suspicious about its own goodness too. How does one understand the goodness of the true? This question transfixes, and reflects within it questions of existence, meaning, and nothing, but especially nothing, which may be the strangest and most ordinary omission of all.
