Leslie Paul Thiele received his Ph.D. from
Princeton University in 1989. His research focuses on continental
political thought, environmental ethics and politics, and the
intersection of political philosophy, psychology, and cultural studies.
Professor Thiele's books include
Friedrich Nietzsche and the Politics of the Soul (Princeton
1990),
Timely Meditations: Martin Heidegger and Postmodern Politics
(Princeton 1995),
Environmentalism for a New Millennium (Oxford 1999),
Thinking Politics (2nd edition, CQ Press 2003) and
The Heart of Judgment: Practical Wisdom, Narrative, and Neuroscience
(Cambridge 2006). His articles have appeared in the American
Political Science Review, Political Theory
and a dozen other journals. He is currently working on an
interdisciplinary project that addresses the challenge of translating
environmental attitudes and values into ecologically, socially and
economically sustainable practices. He is also engaged in work that
integrates Jungian psychology with contemporary political and cultural
studies.
