Jonathan A Jacobs
I work in Moral Psychology, Metaethics, History of Philosophy, and issues concerning punishment and criminal justice. I am especially interested in the respects in which agents are responsible for their characters, and the role of character in ethical cognition. In most of my work I employ extensive resources from the history of philosophy, while participating in current debates. Recently, I have been working on issues concerning the relationship between the justification of punishment and the liberal political order, as well as keeping up my work in medieval--primarily Jewish--philosophy.
