I received my PhD in philosophy from UC Berkeley in 2012. I joined the UNC philosophy department in 2017.
My book Kant on Freedom and Rational Agency was published in 2023 (Oxford University Press). A Chinese translation is forthcoming in 2026 (The Commercial Press, Ltd.). For more information about my research, please visit here: https://philpeople.org/profiles/markus-kohl.
This academic year I am teaching PHIL 224 (Existential Philosophy) in the Fall. I am on leave during the Spring semester.
As the department’s Director of Undergraduate Studies, I am happy to answer any questions about the department, course enrollment, majoring or minoring in philosophy, etc. To schedule an appointment for meeting outside of my regular office hours, or for any questions that can be answered via email, please contact me at mkohl17@email.unc.edu.
My regular office hours in the Fall semester are Tuesday, 9-10am; Thursday, 12.30-1.30pm. Students are welcome to stop by my office (104 Caldwell) during those hours without prior appointment.
