Andrew MooreMA (1986)(Canterbury) D Phil (1991)(Oxford) Email: andrew.moore@otago.ac.nz Andrew's research is in ethical theory, practical ethics, political philosophy and philosophy of mind. Andrew studied at University of Canterbury, then at Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship. His public philosophy roles have included: founding Chair of National Ethics Advisory Committee 2001-2010, member of several other organisations that are also advisory to New Zealand's Minister of Health, and core member of the Health Research Council's Data Monitoring Committee for clinical trials.
Research in Progress"Hedonism": substantial revision of my Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry. "Ethical Theory": the nature of theories of right and wrong, and of the features desirable for such theories to have. "Objectivism about well-being": defends objectivism against criticisms that are widely thought to have merit. "The Job of Ethics Committees": argues for one answer and against another; and that these two answers are muddled together by many guidelines and authors. "Our Being": Is our situation in the universe basically okay? Are we part of anything meaningful that is larger than us, and does it matter? Seeks to describe the leading answers, both non-religious and religious; and to set out the best case for each such answer. "Pleasure, Pain, and Intentionality": Argues that pleasure has both phenomenology (feel) and intentionality (aboutness), that the latter can account for the former, and that there are various upshots for ethics and for mind. "Well-Being". A new on-line Bibliography for Oxford University Press.
