Adjunct fellow, Macquarie University

I am an Adjunct Fellow in the Philosophy Department at Macquarie University, with a research interest in applied ethics, specialising in Nietzsche studies, friendship and practical philosophy. I work as the Faculty Executive Director for the Faculty of Arts at Macquarie University. I am the author of Nietzsche's Renewal of Ancient Ethics: Friendship as Contest. I also run an Instagram account for people interested in philosophy and publish a weekly newsletter (http://neildurrant.substack.com) on practical ethics.
