Professor Ewegen grew up in Colorado under the shadow of the Rocky Mountains. After receiving a BA in philosophy from the University of Colorado (Denver), he migrated slowly across the continent (by way of train) to Boston, where he received his MA and Ph.D. in philosophy at Boston College. His research and teaching interests coincide and are focused mostly on ancient philosophy (Plato), 20th Century continental philosophy (Heidegger), and their intersections. He lives in Middletown, CT, and writes about himself in the third-person.
