About
Andrew Lambert is an Associate Professor at the College of Staten Island, City University of New York (CUNY). His academic work lies at the intersection of ethical theory, classical and contemporary Confucian philosophy, and the philosophy of sport.
His research interests include:
- Ethical theory and moral psychology
- Confucian thought, particularly Li Zehou’s synthesis of Confucianism, Marxism, and Kantian ethics
- The relationship between aesthetics and ethics
- The philosophical nature of friendship and personal attachment
- Translation challenges in Chinese philosophy
- Cross-cultural philosophical dialogue
Lambert’s recent publications explore themes such as partiality in Confucian ethics, the translation of key terms like 'Junzi', and the integration of aesthetic experience into moral life. His 2019 translation of Li Zehou’s A History of Classical Chinese Thought is a significant contribution to the field. His work often bridges Eastern and Western philosophical traditions, emphasizing comparative and interpretive dimensions.
He has been a visiting scholar at Peking University, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Kyoto University as a Mombusho scholar. Prior to joining CSI, he taught at Smith College and Western New England University.
Lambert holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, an M.A. from Durham University (UK), and a B.A. in Social and Political Studies from Sheffield University (UK).
