John Jeremy Stuhr (born November 28, 1951)[1] is an American philosopher who teaches at Emory University.[2] He has written extensively about a wide assortment of philosophical figures and movements as well as a broad array of cultural problems and issues.[3] His work is known for its lively, engaged, and direct style. He draws critically on thinkers from often separated philosophical traditions (such as Pragmatism, Neopragmatism, Continental Philosophy, Critical Theory, Postmodernism, and Deconstruction). Revealing his impatience with narrow and academic conceptions of philosophy, his writings make deep and consistent use of poetry, painting, photography, and the lyrics of contemporary music, and they exhibit a broad interdisciplinary reach across fields such as rhetoric, media studies, relativity theory, political and legal theory, cultural geography, and economics.[4]
