Dr Andrew Hines, BA, MAThyssen Fellow at the Centre for Anglo-German Cultural RelationsEmail: a.hines@qmul.ac.ukProfilePublicationsProfileAndrew Hines studied at both the University of Oregon and the University of Tübingen, obtaining a BA in Philosophy. He also holds a MA in Philosophy from University College Dublin and a PhD in Comparative Literature from Queen Mary, University of London. His thesis was on the concept of metaphor in European philosophy after Nietzsche and is being published as a book by the MHRA in 2020. He is a specialist on Nietzsche, the history of metaphor theory in the western tradition, and post-Kantian European philosophy. More broadly, he interested in how human beings understand (or mis-understand) each other and how the ideas and beliefs they use to communicate are formed. He is currently a Senior Teaching Fellow in Philosophy at SOAS University of London and a Contributing Editor for the Journal of the History of Ideas. Public Engagement and Writing for the Media: I’m continually fascinated by using the media to attempt to present complex ideas to non-specialists audiences and to make an informed, philosophically reflective contribution to public debates in an accessible manner. I was the managing editor of the academic journalism project Figure/Ground Communication (http://figureground.org/) from 2012 – 2013 and have been published in both The Conversation (https://theconversation.com/after-brexit-what-does-democracy-mean-69251) and Newsweek http://europe.newsweek.com/donald-trump-speech-language-metaphor-odd-effective-truth-486701?rm=eu).ResearchPublicationsBook Metaphor in European Philosophy after Nietzsche: An Intellectual History, Studies In Comparative Literature, 54 (Cambridge: Legenda, 2020), 240.
