Michael Campbell
Assistant Professor, Kyoto University
I am an Assistant Professor (助教授) in the Department of Ethics at Kyoto University.
Drawing inspiration from the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein, I work on a range of issues in ethics, politics and the philosophy of mind.
I believe in philosophical practice as work to find terms that help people in making sense of their experience, their self, and the world around them.
