Jason J Howard

Jason J Howard serves as Professor in the Ethics, Culture, and Society department within Viterbo University's School of Humanities, focusing on the philosophical examination of contemporary societal structures and ethical frameworks.

His academic foundation includes:

• PhD from The Catholic University of Leuven (2004)
• MAE from Brock University
• BA from Wilfrid Laurier University

Howard's research traverses philosophy of technology, media ethics, astrobiology, and moral enhancement, with significant contributions to philosophy of emotion, education, and film. His work interrogates how technological advancement reshapes human cognition and ethical decision-making, particularly in pandemic contexts and capitalist systems.

Recent publications reveal consistent thematic threads: the interplay between communal reasoning and individual conscience, the ethical implications of astrobiological discovery, and pandemic-era societal transformation. His scholarship bridges classical philosophy (Kant, Hegel) with urgent modern dilemmas.

Howard actively shapes academic discourse as Chief Editor of Analytic Teaching and Philosophical Praxis and through leadership in community initiatives including Serving the Common Good and The Ethical Life seminars, which translate philosophical inquiry into public ethical engagement.
