Gregory Martin Moore is an intellectual historian with a particular focus on German thought since the Enlightenment. He has written extensively on Nietzsche and on the philosophical reception of Darwinism; edited and translated into English major works by Herder and Fichte; and maintains a long-standing interest in Anglo-German cultural relations. He is not to be confused with the many other excellent Gregory Moores who are, or have been, active in the fields of theoretical physics, journalism, hockey-playing, guitar-strumming, race-car-driving, or Catholic martyrdom.
He is currently preparing a book, under contract with Princeton University Press, entitled Supermania: A History of the Übermensch from Nietzsche to Action Comics and developing, as an eventual promotional tie-in, an exclusive brand of extra-strong menthol candies. Then maybe he'll embark on the intellectual biography of Herder that the world has been crying out for {{citation needed}}.
At Georgia State University, where he has taught since 2012, he serves as the Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of History and has a courtesy appointment in the Department of Philosophy. In a previous life he taught German at Aberystwyth University and at the University of St Andrews.
He offers undergraduate courses on Europe since 1789, the History of Capitalism, the History of Sport, the History of Madness, and the Philosophy of History. His graduate seminars cover topics such as Cold War Germany, the Habsburg monarchy, the European Enlightenments, and the history of Jews and Muslims in Europe since the eighteenth century.
His favorite neolithic henge monument is Avebury.
He is a sixth great-grandson of William Abbott: a member of Northamptonshire's notorious Culworth Gang who, convicted of highway robbery but reprieved from a sentence of sus. per coll., was transported for life with the murderous Second Fleet in 1789. Gregory Martin Moore, by contrast, has neither committed a capital crime nor been to Australia.
