Research Interests

  • Political Philosophy
  • Comparative Philosophy

Research Description

Most of my research interests are rooted in political philosophy and comparative philosophy. Within political philosophy, I am particularly drawn to relational egalitarianism and distributive theories, which includes libertarianism, luck egalitarianism, prioritarianism, among others. In the realm of comparative philosophy, my focus is on the contemporary interpretation and reconstruction of traditional Confucian thought, with a specific emphasis on Confucian perfectionism and meritocracy.
