Michael Friedman is a philosopher of science interested in Immanuel Kant and the post-analytic movement in philosophy. Friedman earned his A.B from Queen's College in New York and his PhD from Princeton University. He is Frederick P. Rehmus Family Professor of Humanities at Stanford University. Before moving to Stanford, Friedman taught at the University of Pennsylvania, University of Illinois Chicago, and Indiana University. His students include Alan Richardson and Andrew Janiak.
Friedman is interested in combining Analytic Philosophy and Continental Philosophy, arguing that both views bring valuable perspectives. In his book Dynamics of Reason, Friedman fills in important gaps in the progress and rise of paradigms, not fully developed by Thomas Kuhn.
