Daniel Kranzelbinder

I work on ancient Greek and Roman philosophy and am especially interested in ancient science. I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Committee on the Conceptual and Historical Studies of Science at the University of Chicago. Find out more about my work here.

Before coming to Chicago, I was a Fellow at the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies and a Fellow at Humboldt University’s Center for Human Abilities. I received my PhD in philosophy from Princeton in 2021 and my BA (2013) and BPhil (2015) from Oxford.

Outside of my academic work, I compete at the national level in stone put. I write about the sport and its relationship to my research in this essay for AEON and talk about it in this portrait in Le Temps. I am also an amateur wildlife photographer; some of my favorite photos are dotted around this website.
