Professor Peter Sedgwick’s, Cardiff University. His teaching and research spans Philosophy & Literature, Visual Culture, Cultural Theory, History of Ideas, and Modern European Philosophy. He began his academic studies with a degree in History of Ideas (i.e. the history of thought). From there he developed an interest in the intersections between European Philosophy, English Literature and Critical and Cultural Theory.

His most recent book, Hypermodernity and Visuality (2019) blends philosophical and creative writing with his own photographic work. His published works include:
Nietzsche's Justice (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2013).
Nietzsche's Economy (Palgrave Macmillan, 2007).
Descartes to Derrida: An introduction to Modern European Philosophy (Blackwell, 2001).
He is also co-author/co-editor with Andrew Edgar of Cultural Theory: The Key Concepts (Routledge, 1999, 2nd edition 2008), co-author with Andrew Edgar of Cultural Theory: The Key Thinkers (Routledge, 2002), and author of Nietzsche: The Key Concepts (Routledge, 2009).
