Tim Mulgan is Professor of Philosophy at the University of St Andrews, focusing on moral philosophy's intersection with metaphysics and future ethics. His current research develops Ananthropocentric Purposivism as an alternative to traditional theism and atheism.

Mulgan's research addresses:

• Metaphysical and moral arguments for non-human-centered cosmic purpose
