Kathryn and Calhoun Lemon Professor of Philosophy
email: mayt@clemson.edu
Dr. May took his Ph.D. from Penn State University in 1989, and has been at Clemson (after a brief stint at Indiana University of Pennsylvania) since 1991. He specializes in Continental philosophy, especially recent French philosophy. His seven philosophical books often focus on the philosophical work of Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and (more recently) Jacques Ranciere but also seek to bridge the gap between "Anglo-American" and "Continental" styles of philosophy that developed in the early twentieth century. His teaching interests are varied; he has found himself teaching classes as diverse as The Thought of Merleau-Ponty, Resistance and Alterity in Contemporary Culture, Secular Ethics in a Materialist Age, Postmodernism and Art, and Moral Realism.
