Long Bio
Jonghyeon Kim is a PhD student in Philosophy at Arizona State University. He works primarily on ethics, political philosophy, and applied epistemology. Specifically, Jonghyeon is interested in (1) the duties individuals and collectives have, if any, in responding to (systemic) injustice, (2) why and how persons should morally consider others' interests, and how such consideration connects to the ideal of equality, and (3) whether having better relevant knowledge, if possible, warrants moral-political power or authority in a democratic society. Jonghyeon is working on papers on (a) the relationship between collective duties and complicity in structural injustice and (b) the possibility of reasonable expert deference based on track record. Before coming to Arizona, Jonghyeon completed his MA and BA in Philosophy at Seoul National University, South Korea.
