  • Paul A. Kottman (born 1970) is a comparatist, philosopher, and literary critic. He is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at the New School for Social Research in New York City, where he is Chair of the Committee on Liberal Studies, and is affiliated with the Philosophy Department. Kottman is known for his 2017 book Love as Human Freedom. Rather than see love as a natural form of affection, Kottman sees love as a practice that changes over time through which new social realities are brought into being—including the rise of feminism and the emergence of bourgeois family life, the struggles for abortion rights and birth control and the erosion of a gender-based division of labor. Kottman is also known for his philosophical readings of Shakespeare, and Shakespearean tragedy, in various essays and in his book Tragic Conditions in Shakespeare]. According to Kottman, "Shakespearean tragedy works through the loss of any 'given' — nature, or God, or “fate” — that might explain human societies, histories, actions, destinies, relationships and values. At the same time, Shakespearean tragedy works through the loss of social bonds on which we depend for the meaning and worth of our lives together — showing those bonds to be, in spite of that dependence, fully dissolvable. " Kottman is the editor of a new book series at Stanford University Press, Humanities Square One: First Order Questions in the Humanities, is on the editorial board of Cultura della Modernità (Edizioni ETS, Italy), and the advisory boards of Columbia Themes in Philosophy, Social Criticism and the Arts (Columbia University Press) and Corpus: Filosofie e sapere (Paparo Edizioni, Italy) Kottman holds the Abilitazione, Professore Ordinario in Filosofia, Estetica (Professor of Philosophy, Aesthetics) in Italy. He has held Visiting Professorships at the University del Piemonte Orientale, (2006); the University of Tokyo (2011–12); the Università degli studi di Verona; Instituto per gli studi filosofici, Naples; and the International Chair in Political Languages, Dipartimento di Politiche Pubbliche e Scelte Colletive (POLIS). He has held a fellowship at Internationales Kolleg Morphomata, Universität zu Köln], and is Full Professor of Philosophy (Aesthetics), Italy National Scientific Committee. (en)
