Her monograph, Plato’s Moral Psychology: Intellectualism, the Divided Soul, and Desire for Good (OUP) was published in 2017, and she is currently working on two projects: the relationship between action and character across ancient ethics, and ancient conceptions of causation in relation to responsibility and explanation.

Daniel Kelly

Daniel Kelly is Professor of Philosophy at Purdue University. His research focuses on issues at the intersection of philosophy of mind and cognitive science, moral theory, and evolution. He turned his dissertation into a book on the genetic and cultural evolution of disgust called Yuck!

Much of Kelly’s recent work has been exploring ways to apply the insights of the cognitive, behavioral, and evolutionary sciences to social issues like climate change, misinformation and polarization, and systemic injustice. He is currently co-authoring a public-facing book that explores how those insights can be used to integrate individual and structural approaches to social change.

David Pizarro

Prior to her current appointments, she held a three-year position as the Harold T. Shapiro Postdoctoral Research Associate in Bioethics at the Princeton University Center for Human Values.

She is currently working on a manuscript project on the philosophy of emotional attachment.
