Hi, I'm
Dylan Flint,
senior lecturer at The Ohio State University.
Welcome to my website!

About

ABOUT

My research area is in Early Modern Philosophy, especially the philosophy of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.

I have written on Leibniz's theories of modality, freedom, and divine agency. I am currently working on multiple projects, including a project that reconstructs Leibniz's account of divine simplicity and a project that reconciles Leibniz's views of human agency, super-essentialism, and counter-factual identity.

I have diverse teaching competencies, including the History of Philosophy, Ethics, the Philosophy of Religion, Metaphysics, and Asian Philosophies.

TEACHING

I love getting my students excited about philosophy. To do this, I let them know that they belong and I make the material relatable by breaking it down and connecting it to what really matters. Look below to see what some of them have had to say.

Teaching Statement

Introduction to Philosophy, Autumn 2022 OSU

I have never had a teacher so passionate about a class/topic. Dylan really wants everyone to do well and uses very simple and straight forward teaching strategies to do so...His aptitude for the subject matter and his relatableness made all the topics seem within reach to many students.
