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),
