Xingyuan Chen

Before coming to Pitt in 2026, I received my B.A. from Franklin & Marshall College, where I studied Philosophy and Mathematics, and completed an M.A. in Ancient Philosophy at LMU Munich. My primary interests thus lie in classical Greek philosophy, especially the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle; but my work in this area has also drawn me both to neighboring areas in the history of philosophy, such as Presocratic thought and the later reception of classical Greek philosophy, and to questions in contemporary philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and epistemology.
Outside of philosophy, I enjoy road trips, watching musicals, and spending time with my cat.
