Michael Millerman (born 1984) is a Canadian political theorist, translator, and internet personality who is known for his work on the thought of Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin.

Millerman's research primarily focuses on the influence of Heidegger on Dugin's thought and the intersection of classical political rationalism and phenomenology.^[1]

His impact on Dugin scholarship has been disputed. On the one hand, opponents of his efforts have claimed Millerman has helped expand the accessibility of Dugin's philosophy to new audiences, thereby spurring radicalisation.^[2] However, supporters of Millerman's work claim he has opened up new avenues for scholars to begin treating the issues Dugin brings up seriously.^[3]

Early life and education

Millerman was born in 1984 and grew up in Windsor, Canada. He went on to study philosophy at the University of British Columbia, graduating in 2012.
