Daniel Coren

Assistant Professor

Biography

Dr. Daniel Coren earned a doctorate in Philosophy from the University of Colorado (Boulder) in 2019. He was a Visiting Assistant Professor at McMaster University (2019-2022) and Skidmore College (2022-23). He is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Seattle University.

He has taught over thirty courses in Philosophy at the college/university level.

His research focuses on free will, agency, and responsibility. He also maintains research interests in Aristotle's account of agency and related topics in ethics.

Dr. Coren won a game of chess, without looking at the chessboard, against one of his classes. He lost to another class the following year (also without looking at the board). He regrets not quitting while he was ahead. But he will try again.
