My work focuses on various aspects of the philosophical, phenomenological (especially Levinas), and biological nature of human experience. Recently, I have started to ask questions about evolutionary psychology, the empathy-altruism hypothesis, animal rights, and the possibility that ethics is a blindsighted experience. I teach classes in 20th-century Continental Philosophy, Existentialism, Environmental Ethics, Bio-medical Ethics, Social Ethics, Philosophy of Law, Philosophy of Technology, and Introduction to Philosophy.

Steven Barbone's interests focus on the work
of Benedict Spinoza. He is especially interested in
using his framework to address contemporary social
and ethical issues such as personal identity in the
computer age, outing, sexual identity, and the problem
of suicide. He has worked with Lee Rice (and
sometimes Jacob Adler) to prepare notes and commentaries
for Spinoza's Political Treatise, Principles of Cartesian
Philosophy, and his correspondence (all published
by Hackett; translations by Samuel Shirely). He did his graduate work at Marquette University (Milwaukee)
and spent part of that time at France's Ecole Normale
Superieure.

My main research interests are in political philosophy and practical ethics. My work on climate change has argued for the importance of the right to sustainable development in international treaty negotiations and the importance of distributive considerations to the intra-generational assessment of energy policies. My work in global justice has defended an egalitarian approach to distributive justice based upon respect for human dignity and an associative account duties of justice. My recent contribution to just war theory has focused on the importance of developing a new doctrine, namely jus ex bello. I have also written on the political philosophy of reconciliation in transitional societies. I teach a variety of political philosophy and ethics courses.

Although all three of my degrees have been earned in Amero-eurocentric philosophy, as a student I began to explore the potential role of comparative approaches in revitalizing the philosophical enterprise. My Ph.D. dissertation explored the cross-cultural philosophy underlying the work of Spinoza and the Daoist Dao De Jing. Currently my research is focused on the epistemological insights of Daoism and Buddhism that deconstruct our unexamined assumptions, which intriguingly resonate with the ongoing permutations of Post-modern science. Over the past twenty-five I have traveled to China, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Japan and teach intensive summer classes on key Buddhist philosophical texts at a Buddhist college in Taiwan.
