Today's main contributor, Lawrence Torcello, holds the position of Associate Professor of Philosophy at Rochester Institute of Technology where he specialises in social political philosophy and moral theory.
Described on Twitter as a moral and political philosopher, his current research interests focus on democratic theory, liberalism, and issues of climate justice. Recent work explores the moral implications of global warming denialism and other forms of disinformation.
Current projects investigate the practical consequences and ethical responsibilities implicit to democratic citizenship in morally diverse societies, particularly in the domains of medicine, education, animal welfare, the environment, and political discourse.
Lawrence is currently working on a book examining the moral and epistemic requirements of liberalism.
Lawrence’s book Recommendations:
Michael E Mann - the New Climate War
Walt Whitman - Leaves of Grass
