Daniel Jacobson is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Bowling Green and a Senior Research Fellow of the Social Philosophy
and Policy Center. He received his B.A. from Yale University and his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. He has held fellowships
from the Princeton University Center for Human Values, NEH, ACLS, and the Mellon Foundation.
Jacobson works in moral philosophy, most broadly construed; and he has published on topics in aesthetics (focusing on the
relation between moral and aesthetic value), the history of ethics (J. S. Mill), moral psychology (especially the philosophy
of emotion), political and applied philosophy (freedom of speech), metaethics (sentimentalism and sensibility theory), and
normative ethics (consequentialism and virtue ethics). Some of this work is collaborative, co-authored with Justin D’Arms
of Ohio State University.
Jacobson and D’Arms are currently working on a book entitled Rational Sentimentalism, which is under contract with Oxford University Press.
Jacobson has taught at the University of California, Berkeley; Wesleyan University; Ohio State University; the College of
Charleston, and Franklin & Marshall College. In Winter 2007, he will be Visiting Associate Professor at the University of
Michigan.
