James Andow

James Andow is a Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Manchester, joining in 2023. His work focuses on the intersection of value theory, epistemology, and philosophical methodology, with additional interests in environmental ethics and experimental philosophy. He actively explores how intuitions function in philosophical inquiry and advocates for methodological reforms in the discipline.

Research interests include conceptual engineering, the role of intuitions as evidence, epistemic deontology, and Kantian frameworks. His work often employs empirical methods to investigate philosophical concepts and their real-world implications, such as climate ethics and moral psychology. He has contributed to debates on the reproducibility of experimental philosophy and the ethical implications of conceptual interventions.

His publications span articles in journals like Synthese and Inquiry, as well as book chapters addressing philosophical education and climate-related ethics. While no awards are explicitly listed, his contributions reflect engagement with cutting-edge methodological and ethical questions in contemporary philosophy.

Andow accepts PhD students and is involved in collaborative research networks exploring topics such as geoengineering ethics and epistemic norms. His work bridges traditional philosophical analysis with empirical rigor, offering novel approaches to longstanding debates.
