| Astrid A. Giugni, Lecturing Fellow of EnglishPlease note: Astrid has left the "Information Science + Studies" group at Duke University; some info here might not be up to date. I work in Early Modern English literature with particular focus on the prose and poetry of John Milton and on the political and nonconformist writings of the English Civil Wars and Interregnum. My work focuses on forms of rationality, on ethics, and politics. I am particularly interested in the ethics of rational action. I teach in the English Department and the Information Science + Studies program. I am interested in the theory and ethics of the use of large scale databases in humanistic research and pedagogy. My theoretical framework is informed by Ludwing Wittgenstein, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Michael Polanyi as well as by Daniel Kahneman’s account of decision making and reasoning processes.
