Biography

Huaiyuan “Susanna” Zhang is a doctoral candidate in philosophy and classics and ancient Mediterranean studies. Her dissertation focuses on the interplay between Emmanuel Levinas’ phenomenological ethics and Plato’s virtue ethics, in particular how Levinas brings Platonism down to earth by anchoring the Idea of the Good in the infinite realm of erotic-ethical relations accessible within the bounds of human finitude. Her work has appeared in the Review of Metaphysics and Studia Phaenomenologica.
