Tristan J. Rogers

I am a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at California State University, Sacramento and the Department of Philosophy at UC Davis. I previously taught philosophy at CSU, East Bay and CSU, Stanislaus. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Arizona in 2017. 

I work in political philosophy, ethics, and ancient philosophy. My book, The Authority of Virtue: Institutions and Character in the Good Society, was published by Routledge in November 2020. You can read a précis of the book here. My next book, under contract with Routledge, is tentatively titled Conservatism Past and Present: A Philosophical Introduction.

I grew up in Canada and studied at Concordia University and Queen’s University before coming to the United States for graduate school. I live in Sacramento with my wife, two daughters, and dog, Argos. In my spare time, I enjoy writing and playing music, some of which you can find here.
