Dr. Eli Kramer is Associate Director of the Cassirer Center for International Scholarship and Cooperation and University Professor at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Wrocław. His work is devoted to developing PWL as a field and revitalizing enclaves for humane learning accross global higher education. He connects this work to his activities in the philosophy of culture and the philosophy of higher education. Alongside field leaders Matthew Sharpe and Michael Chase, he co-edits the Brill book series, “Philosophy as a Way of Life: Text and Studies,” which organizes new translations, as well as putting out new studies. Most recently they have edited and published two critical translations of one of the founding figures of the PWL field, Juliusz Domański: Philosophy, Theory or Way of Life? (Brill 2024), and Erasmus and Philosophy (Brill 2024). They also closely work with Marta Faustino on a number of projects to foster philosophy as a way of life research and practice inside and out of the academy. His first single authored monograph is on the nature and role of the associated philosophical life (as distinct from philosophy as a discipline): Intercultural Modes of Philosophy, Volume One: Principles to Guide Philosophical Community (Brill 2021). He has also co-edited and contributed to collections such as Living According to Nature, 2 vols (Brill, forthcoming), Hadot and Foucault on Ancient Philosophy: Critical Assessments (Brill, 2024), Philosophy of Culture as Theory, Method, and Way of Life: Contemporary Reflections and Applications (Brill, 2022), Rorty and Beyond (Lexington Books, 2020), and Contemporary Philosophical Proposals for the University: Toward a Philosophy of Higher Education (Palgrave Macmillan 2018). His work has appeared (or will appear) in journals such as Metaphilosophy, Eidos. A Journal for Philosophy of Culture, Contemporary Pragmatism, Dewey Studies, Philosophy and Theory in Higher Education, Studies in Pedagogy, and Syndicate Philosophy.
