Biography:

  • Meghant studied Chemistry and Philosophy in India before coming to the US for his doctoral studies on “Matter and Motion in Kant’s Philosophy of Science” at SUNY, Stony Brook.
  • Besides teaching at BSU, he has been a visiting Assistant Professor at Concordia University, Montreal, and a Faculty Fellow at Colby College, Maine.
  • He is currently working on the varieties of skepticism in German Idealism, on the differences between Cartesian and Kantian concepts of consciousness, on the historical and contemporary problems of intersubjectivity in Hegel’s aesthetics, and the figure of Socrates as caught between Greco-Hellenistic and Perso-Arabic conceptions, which has implications for contemporary conceptions of Socrates in global philosophical context.
