Gregory Martin Moore, Mercian by birth and 'Merican by oath, 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 was praeceptor linguae germanicae at Aberystwyth University and at the University of St Andrews.

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.

Appearances to the contrary, he rarely refers to himself in the third person.
