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 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. He has a courtesy appointment in the Department of Philosophy. Prior to his current appointment, he taught German at Aberystwyth University and the University of St Andrews.
He offers undergraduate courses on the History of Europe Since 1789, History of Capitalism, History of Sport, History of Madness, and the Philosophy of History. His graduate seminars have covered 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. Abbott, a member of Northamptonshire's notorious Culworth Gang, was convicted of highway robbery and, reprieved from a sentence of sus. per coll., transported for life with the murderous Second Fleet in 1789. Gregory Martin Moore, by contrast, has not committed any capital crimes. Or been to Australia.
