James S. Pearson

I’m James S. Pearson, a British political philosopher based in the Netherlands. I currently work as a Lecturer in Philosophy at Leiden University. I also hold a full-time research position at the Centre of Philosophy at the University of Lisbon (CFUL). I was previously a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam.

My current research is in contemporary political theory and the philosophy of technology. I also have a background in Nietzsche studies and am the author of Nietzsche on Conflict, Struggle and War (Cambridge University Press, 2022).

Outside of my professional life, I’m an avid analogue photographer, and I've created a page on this site where you can see a selection of my photographs.
