Anya Daly completed a double-badged doctorate from the University of Melbourne, Australia, and l’Université de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, France, in December 2012. Her thesis, ‘The problem of the Other in the work of Merleau-Ponty: From Epistemology to Ethics’ explicated Merleau-Ponty’s implicit ethics from his accounts of embodiment, primordial percipience and his non-dual ontology. Anya Daly spent five years in France researching and teaching across various disciplines in undergraduate, masters and doctoral programs, returning to Australia in 2010. Since then she has been based in Melbourne where she has taught on a number of the undergraduate programs in the Philosophy Department at the University of Melbourne.  Her research continues to be focused on the nexus phenomenology, neuroscience and psychology, specifically with regard to perception, destructiveness and ethical failure. Her additional research interests include creativity, aesthetics, the philosophy of psychiatry and Buddhist philosophy.
