Profile
Christopher
Wolfe is a professor of political science at Marquette University.
He graduated summa cum laude from Notre Dame in 1971
with a major in government and went on to study political
philosophy at Boston College, receiving his Ph.D. in 1978.
During his graduate studies he “migrated” from political philosophy
to American political thought and Constitutional Law. He taught
at Assumption College from 1975 to 1978 and came to Marquette
in 1978, being promoted to associate professor in 1985, and
full professor in 1992.
Dr. Wolfe
initially focused his research and teaching on Constitutional
Law, and in particular the transformation of judicial review
in the course of American history. His current work is on
American public philosophy, and especially the relationship
between natural law and liberalism, which will be published
as Natural Law Liberalism (forthcoming from Cambridge
University Press).
Dr. Wolfe
is the founder and President of the American Public Philosophy
Institute (1989), an interdisciplinary group of scholars from
various universities, which seeks to give natural law theory
a more salient expression in current scholarly and public
discussions.
