About

Hi, I’m Daniel. Welcome to my website.

I am a philosopher of psychoanalysis and Marxist thought. My first book is entitled Psychoanalysis and the Politics of the Family: The Crisis of Initiation and is published with the Palgrave Lacan Series. My second book, How to Read Like a Parasite: What the Left Needs to Know About Nietzsche will come out in February of 2024 with Repeater Books.

I am the convener of Study Groups on Psychoanalysis and Politics a public learning platform that offers study groups, seminars and podcasts. I teach philosophy at various places including George Washington University, Marymount University, the Global Center for Advanced Studies and have taught at the Washington DC jail. Since the pandemic, I have focused on offering online courses, study groups and seminars. I release at least two interviews per month with different thinkers that I find compelling.

You can support my work by becoming a Patron and check out some of my most recent interviews, talks and courses here.

Many of the posts on this website are older material which I may not still agree with. I started posting my writing on this website in 2006.
