Sheridan Hough is a graduate of Trinity University (B.A. in English and Philosophy) and the University of California at Berkeley (Ph.D. in Philosophy).  She is a specialist in Nietzsche scholarship (her book, Nietzsche’s Noontide Friend, was published in 1997 by Penn State University Press), but she is also very interested in the central preoccupations of 19th and 20th Century Continental thought such as the constitution of the self and the nature of our ethical claims.  She also thinks a lot about the kinds of connections between philosophy and the reading and writing of fiction.
