James A. Mollison works in the history of philosophy, focusing primarily on Friedrich Nietzsche's thought—especially his ideas about drives, psychology, morality, and affirmation of life—and how these ideas relate to other thinkers like Stoicism, Leibniz, Kierkegaard, and Deleuze. His research examines conceptual and interpretive questions about how these philosophers understood human motivation, ethics, and metaphysics.
