Petra Brown

I am a philosopher, interested in exploring how philosophical ideas influence personal and collective beliefs. My expertise bridges existentialism, ethics, religion and politics to explore how these areas intersect and shape our understanding of ourselves and our societies.

As a scholar, I am dedicated to bridging intellect and empathy, applying thoughtful ideas to explore the complexities of our shared human experience, and develop insight into the human condition that is relevant and applicable to today’s problems. Through my research, I examine how we, individually and collectively, navigate moral challenges, exploring intersections of religious beliefs, governance, justice, and societal norms. In my approach, I excel at finding common threads in what may appear to be disparate and even irreconcilable ideas.
