Research interests
A/P Sharpe has an eclectic array of research interests. Increasingly, he works on classical philosophy and modern receptions thereof, and the early modern period, up to and including the French enlightenment. He is interested in the history of Western receptions of its classical past, and the rich ethical legacy left by Stoic and academic schools in particular.
A/P Sharpe has expertise in Lacanian and Freudian psychoanalysis, and the use of psychoanaytic theory to read comedies, tragedies, and more contemporary cultural forms like 'Reality television'. He has published one single-authored and one coauthored book on Slavoj Zizek's work, and with Joanne Faulkner, Understanding Psychoanalysis.
In the past, he has published on aesthetics, the theory of ideology, eschatology and political theology, and critical theory. He has written on a host of different thinkers: for instance John Macdowell, Jacques Lacan, Montaigne, Voltaire, Maimonides, Pierre Hadot, and Epictetus.
He is 2017-19 working on a project looking at the critical theory tradition's relationship with the enlightenment. He is also part of a group of researchers at Deakin looking at the return of the Far Right globally.
