Peter Marsham Hallward (born 29 April 1968) is a Canadian political philosopher, best known for his work on Alain Badiou and Gilles Deleuze. He has also published works on post-colonialism and contemporary Haiti. Hallward is a member of the editorial collective of the journal Radical Philosophy and a contributing editor to Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities.
After completing his PhD at Yale University in French and African-American studies under the supervision of Christopher L. Miller and Vera Kutzinski in 1997, Hallward became a lecturer, and then reader, of French philosophy and literature at King's College London from 1999 to 2004. In 2005, he joined the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, which relocated from Middlesex University to Kingston University in 2010. He is now a professor of Modern European Philosophy at Kingston University.
Work In 2016, Hallward was working on a three-part project on the key philosophers of political will: Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Louis Auguste Blanqui, and Karl Marx. He is simultaneously working on a larger book entitled 'The Will of the People,' which will "develop and defend a notion of democratic political will, understood as a rational, deliberate, and autonomous capacity for collective self-determination."
