István Zárdai

I'm currently teaching philosophy and ethics part time at universities across the Greater Tokyo Area (Sophia University, Tokyo Institute of Technology), teaching English language (academic English, business English, conversational classes for adults and children), and also work as a visiting researcher at Keio University, Tokyo, hosted by Prof. Wolfgang Ertl. My philosophical interests lie in ethics (international justice, ethics of international relations, ethics of war, ethics of AI), philosophy of mind and agency (how do humans and other animals act, what makes us responsible for our actions, what are the criteria of intentional and voluntary action), Wittgenstein, and Aristotle. I'm also interested in political philosophy (justice, feminism, communism and socialism, economics as politics), philosophy of art (videogames, literature, painting) and the work of Spinoza.
