Richard M. Capobianco

Richard M. Capobianco is an American philosophy professor and a leading scholar of the 20th century German philosopher Martin Heidegger. His four books, Engaging Heidegger, Heidegger's Way of Being, Heidegger's Being: The Shimmering Unfolding, and In Heidegger's Vineyard: Reflections and Mystical Vignettes, have led the way to a renewed appreciation of Heidegger's central matter of "being," especially in the later work.

Background Capobianco received a B.A. in economics and philosophy from Hofstra University in 1979. He was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa in 1978. He is currently a professor of philosophy at Stonehill College in North Easton, Massachusetts. He earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in philosophy at Boston College, where his principal teacher and mentor was the preeminent Heidegger commentator William J. Richardson, who also wrote the foreword to his book Engaging Heidegger. Capobianco teaches courses on Existentialism, Hermeneutics, American Philosophy, and Aesthetics, and he has received several awards for teaching excellence, including a national recognition from the Princeton Review.
