Dan Friedman

Dan Friedman (he/him) is a 2nd year philosophy graduate student primarily interested in epistemology, the philosophy of action, and the normative profile of the collective dimensions of both. In particular, he is interested in shared inquiry, collective deliberation, how we do and how we ought to answer questions together, and what such theories can tell us about structuring scientific practice and political life. Recently, these interests have extended to the intersection of ethics and technology. Here, Dan is most concerned with the kinds of collaborative environments needed for appropriate deliberation about the ethical harms and benefits of nascent technologies, as well as how emerging technologies fit into our broader collaborative endeavors and downstream impact they have on the ways in which our collaborative endeavors underwrite certain meaningful kinds of relationships.

Dan is originally from Budapest but grew up in and around New York City. He did a BA/MA at Johns Hopkins and another MA at Brandeis after that. Outside of philosophy, he loves cooking, trying different scotches, listening to opera, and following Chelsea F.C. religiously.
