Additional Information

"There is nothing like living in a foreign country for a year to teach you how little you know about the world. A Fulbright year abroad shatters one's presuppositions, about the world, about others, oneself: out of the experiences we have living abroad, a new, more cosmopolitan outlook is created, and new ways to understand reality appear."

On returning to the U.S., Daniel plans to finish researching and writing his dissertation during the 2005/2006 academic year, to publish it during this same year and he would like to become a Fellow beginning in 2006 either at the University of Michigan or at Trinity College, Cambridge, so that he can continue his researches into late Medieval philosophy and the epistemological problems of this period.



GRANT YEAR: 2004-2005
