Kittredge Central North, N225
Ben Bryan writes about questions that sit on the boundary between moral and political philosophy, especially questions about rights. His work has appeared in or is forthcoming in Australasian Journal of Philosophy, History of Philosophy Quarterly, Philosophia, and Social Theory and Practice. During his time at the Center, Ben will be working on two main projects. The first is a series of papers developing and defending Conventionalist Natural Rights Theory—a natural rights theory that can also account for the role that contingent social practices play in shaping our rights and duties. The second is a series of papers about how to morally evaluate new technologies like self-driving cars and aerial drones.
