Scott Dunham

Dr. Scott Dunham teaches in the areas of philosophy and religious studies with particular attention to environmental ethics and the idea of nature in the history of Western thought, and more generally in the area of ethics. He also teaches classical and medieval thought. His research interests currently revolve around the idea that beauty is the starting point for ethics, and that natural beauty is the basic experience from which notions of beauty arise.
