Dr. Esmail was educated at London, Oxford, Cambridge, and Harvard. He was awarded a British Academy Studentship and the Gregg Bury Prize (Philosophy) at Cambridge.
He was formerly a Research Fellow at Oxford and Burney Student at Cambridge and a Visiting Fellow at Harvard.
Alongside international articles, he is the author of three volumes of an original philosophical work on the nature and existence of God. (The third volume includes an appendix on the nature of free action.)
He lectures at both Cambridge and Oxford.
He has taught courses for the Institute in a number of areas. These courses include ‘Great Ancient and Medieval Philosophers’, ‘Great Modern Philosophers’, ‘The Nature of Knowledge’, ‘The Problem of Evil’, and ‘Philosophy of Religion’.
Classes with him consist of clearly structured lectures and an encouragement to ask questions and to make comments. Students are assisted in their understanding of the subject and in their critical engagement with it.
