Michael Kühler has left ARRTI in March 2024 and took up a professorship at Fachhochschule Dortmund, University of Applied Sciences and Arts.

Research and Teaching

  • Ethics, Metaethics, and Applied Ethics, esp. Medical Ethics and Ethics of Technology
  • Philosophy of Personhood, esp. Personal Autonomy and Related Topics
  • Philosophy of Love
  • Political Philosophy
  • Action Theory

The general focus of my research lies in analyzing and discussing the implications certain conceptual assumptions and claims in metaethics and theoretical ethics may have for concrete normative questions in ethics, applied ethics, and political philosophy. My current focus in teaching lies in developing and conducting novel teaching formats in ethics of technology for non-philosophy students.
