Jason Barton is a fifth-year PhD candidate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of New Mexico. He received his BA in Philosophy and Psychology from Rice University in 2019. His research focuses on the interaction between German Idealism (in particular: G.W.F. Hegel and F.W.J. Schelling) and the philosophy of religion; though, he holds secondary research interests in the philosophy of psychoanalysis (in particular: Jacques Lacan) and hermeneutic phenomenology (in particular: Jacques Derrida). His dissertation – tentatively titled “A Hegelian Theory of Divine Revelation” – seeks to derive an account of divine revelation from Hegel’s much-overlooked and much-neglected "Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion," namely the second volume on “Determinate Religion.” Additionally, Jason has published book chapters and journal articles in several scholarly venues that reflect a deep-seated investment in interdisciplinary work, including “Law and Critique” and “Journal for the Continental Philosophy of Religion.”
