Nicolas Garcia Mills is a lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at Binghamton University. Before coming to Binghamton, he was an Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral research fellow at the Freie Universität Berlin and, before that, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. He has also taught at Tufts University and at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). He received his PhD from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in 2019. He grew up in Barcelona, Spain, and moved to the U.S. for graduate school. Garcia Mills’ research focuses primarily on the history of moral, social and political philosophy in the post-Kantian tradition. His current work includes three research projects, respectively devoted to (1) Hegel’s ethical views; (2) the social theories of Hegel, Marx and the Frankfurt School; and (3) 20th-century Latin American philosophy. Each of these projects is concerned in one way or another with the broader question: In what ways are we free (or unfree) and how do our animal nature and the natural and social worlds outside us bear on our capacity for freedom and its exercise?
