Daniel Campos teaches and writes philosophy as a medium to cultivate his interests in mathematics, literature, and sport. These academic fields, along with his passions for traveling, listening to live music, swimming and snorkeling, form the core of what he does in philosophy.
Education:
Ph.D., Penn State University - 2005 (Philosophy)
M.A., Penn State University - 2002 (Philosophy)
M.A., Penn State University - 1996 (Statistics)
B.A., Harding University - 1994 (Mathematics)
Areas of Expertise:
Campos has studied the role that creativity plays in human endeavor. As a mathematician by training, he has focused on writing about the role that the creative imagination plays in mathematical reasoning. He has also written about creativity in science, art and sport. More recently he published a book of personal essays on immigration. He appeals to the Anglo- and Latin-American philosophical and literary traditions to reflect on his experiences as an immigrant to the United States.
