Daniel Came is a British philosopher. He is Senior Lecturer and Programme Leader in philosophy at the University of Lincoln.[1] He was previously Lecturer in Philosophy, at the University of Hull, College Lecturer in Philosophy at St Hugh's College, Oxford, and Lecturer in Philosophy at Birkbeck College, University of London. [2] His research focuses on post-Kantian European philosophy, especially the work of Arthur Schopenhauer[3] and Friedrich Nietzsche, as well as ethics, aesthetics and the philosophy of religion.[4] Came is also known for engaging in public debates about religion and the existence of God with figures such as William Lane Craig[5][6] and Richard Dawkins.[7]

Biography[edit]

Came studied philosophy at undergraduate and masters level at Cambridge University before completing a DPhil in philosophy at Oxford University.[8] His doctoral research focussed on Nietzsche's attempt to reconcile the existence and inevitability of suffering with the affirmation of life.[9] Following his doctoral studies Came was appointed Junior Research Fellow in Philosophy at Worcester College, Oxford, (2007-10).[10] He has since served as College Lecturer in Philosophy at St Hugh's College, Oxford (2011-2013) and permanent Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Hull (2013-2017) before being appointed Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Lincoln in 2017.[11] In 2017 Came founded the Lincoln Philosophy Salon, which serves as a public forum for philosophical discussion in Lincoln, England.[12] The Salon has hosted speakers including A.C. Grayling, Nancy Cartwright, Stephen Priest, Raymond Tallis, Benedikt Paul Göcke, David Papineau, James Lenman, and Angie Hobbs, and its live stream has been viewed by audiences in the USA, Germany, Croatia, Egypt, and Vietnam.[13][14]

Came is also a musician. In December 2022, his composition for acoustic guitar, 'Valediction', was released by Candyrat Records.[15]
