Bywgraffiad
Mae Christopher Norris yn Athro Ymchwil Nodedig mewn Athroniaeth ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd, Cymru ac mae wedi dysgu mewn nifer o brifysgolion ledled y byd. Mae wedi ysgrifennu mwy na deg ar hugain o lyfrau ar agweddau ar athroniaeth a theori lenyddol, yn eu plith The Deconstructive Turn; Y Gwirionedd am Ôl-foderniaeth; Spinoza a Gwreiddiau Theori Feirniadol Fodern; Theori Cwantwm a'r Ffoi rhag Realaeth; athroniaeth iaith a'r her i realaeth wyddonol; Ar Wirionedd ac Ystyr; Ffuglen, Athroniaeth a Theori Lenyddol; Badiou's Being and Event: a reader's guide and (most recently ) Re-Thinking the Cogito: naturalism, rationalism and the venture of thought.
Mae ei lyfrau a'i erthyglau ar Jacques Derrida wedi ymddangos yn eithaf rheolaidd dros y pum mlynedd ar hugain diwethaf, ac yn ddiweddar maent wedi ymwneud â goblygiadau gwaith Derrida i epistemoleg ac athroniaeth rhesymeg ac iaith. Disgwylir i'w lyfr diweddaraf Derrida, Badiou and the Formal Imperative gael ei gyhoeddi yn ddiweddarach eleni. Mae hefyd yn ysgrifennu am faterion mewn estheteg ac athroniaeth celf, ar ôl cyhoeddi'r monograff Platonism, Music and the Listener's Share a golygu'r cyfrolau Shostakovich: the man and his music a Music and the Politics of Culture.
Mae ei addysgu blaenorol wedi cynnwys cyrsiau israddedig ac MA ar athroniaeth iaith, Athroniaeth Ffrangeg: Sartre i Badiou, Dadadeiladu, Athroniaeth a Theori Llenyddol, ac Athroniaeth yr Ugeinfed Ganrif yn y Ddau Draddodiad. Dros y deng mlynedd ar hugain diwethaf mae wedi darlithio mewn llawer o brifysgolion ledled y byd ac wedi bod yn athro gwadd yn Berkeley, Prifysgol Tulane, Prifysgol Dinas Efrog Newydd, Coleg Dartmouth (Ysgol Beirniadaeth a Theori), Prifysgol Santiago de Compostela, ac mewn mannau eraill.
Ei brif ddiddordeb presennol yw perthynas rhwng athroniaeth a barddoniaeth, gan gynnwys y syniad o farddoniaeth fel ffordd o fynd i'r afael â themâu athronyddol.
