Christoph Schuringa

Christoph Schuringa is a British philosopher and associate professor in philosophy at Northeastern University London. He is known for his works on German philosophy and has served as Editor of the Hegel Bulletin.

Schuringa's 2025 book A Social History of Analytic Philosophy narrates the suppression of radical politics within American academic philosophy during and after the era of McCarthyism. Kieran Setiya was critical of the book's thesis that analytic philosophy is inherently conservative. Jacobin associate editor Nick French considered its argument that empiricist epistemology acts as an ideological defense of capitalism to be unpersuasive and impressionistic, and he added that analytic philosophy's attention to "conceptual distinctions ... regimented argument and ... individual experience" would be valuable for the left to adopt. Adam Knowles defends the book's thesis and links Schuringa's critique of the analytic style to neoliberal governmentality.
