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.

His favorite neolithic henge monument is Avebury.

He is the sixth great-grandson of William Abbott, parish clerk of Sulgrave and member of the Culworth Gang, a notorious company of highwaymen and thieves who for many years terrorized southern Northamptonshire before the law finally caught up with them in 1787. Four of Abbott's confederates were hanged on the Racecourse, but his own sentence was commuted to transportation for life; he sailed for Sydney Cove with the murderous Second Fleet in 1789. His descendant has never been particularly keen to travel to Australia, though apparently most visitors now survive the journey.
