Life and works
Rand holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Northwestern University, earned in 2006. Prior to that, they completed an M.A. in Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1997 and received a B.A. in the College of Letters from Wesleyan University in 1995.[2]
In his article "What's Wrong with Rex? Hegel on Animal Defect and Individuality" Rand argues that for Hegel, animals can not be normatively evaluated on the basis of species-specific standards. This position has been criticized by Nicolás García Mills, whom along with Mark Alznauer argues that animals are in fact normatively evaluable for Hegel.[3][4]
