In her classes, Cheri introduces students to the major themes in the history of ethical
and social-political thought in order to prepare them to apply those theoretical tools
to such contemporary issues as environmental ethics, feminism, bioethics, and international
justice.
Cheri's research interests include contemporary French philosophy, 18th century German
philosophy and ethics (both history and applied).
Her dissertation - entitled "Deleuze's Critical Philosophy: The Differential Theory
of the Faculties" - argues that Deleuze’s charge in Kant’s Critical Philosophy (1963) that Kant betrays the standard of immanence required by the critical perspective
is the catalyst for Deleuze’s thinking in his seminal work Difference and Repetition (1968). In Difference and Repetition Deleuze produces a differential theory of faculties through a revision and recuperation
of Kant’s doctrine of faculties, but without explicitly linking it to a new critical
practice. This dissertation brings to light the new critical practice implicit in
Deleuze’s thought by comparing the doctrine of faculties from Kant’s Critical Philosophy with the differential theory of faculties from Difference and Repetition. What it
shows is that in Difference and Repetition Deleuze carries out his own “critique of reason”, an immanent critique that is not
satisfied to remain at the level of the a priori conditions of experience but seeks to account for experience’s genesis.
