Background

A native of the northeast, Dr. Wilkinson came to NWU from the southeast in 2002. Since then she has published two books, Parmenides and To Eon: Reconsidering Muthos and Logos (Bloomsbury, 2009), Socratic Charis: Philosophy without the Agon (Lexington, 2013), and is working on Plato's Stranger: Socrates and the Hospitality of Philosophy, which explores necessary and sufficient conditions for democratic thought and behavior based upon Plato's positioning of "Socrates" as the essential "other" throughout the dialogues.
