Justin D'Arms is the Interim Chair and Professor of Philosophy at the Department of Philosophy, Ohio State University, within the College of Arts and Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan (1995) and a B.A. from Princeton University (1985). His research focuses on ethics, metaethics, moral psychology, and the philosophy of emotion, particularly exploring how human nature and evolutionary theory inform normative questions about morality, justice, and value. He co-authored Rational Sentimentalism (under contract with Oxford University Press), advocating for a pluralist conception of value that integrates sentimental values like humor, shame, and envy alongside moral values. His work challenges traditional views of emotions as irrational, arguing instead for their role in rational emotional regulation and value assessment.
Dr. D'Arms has edited Moral Psychology and Human Agency: Philosophical Essays on the Science of Ethics (2014) and published widely in journals such as Philosophical Studies and Philosophy and Phenomenological Research. His scholarship bridges philosophical ethics with empirical insights, emphasizing the interplay between emotions, values, and human agency. He critiques simplistic moral frameworks by highlighting the complexity of sentimental values and their societal implications.
Despite his prolific output, no specific awards are noted in the provided texts. His advising and grant activities remain unspecified, though his role as Interim Chair underscores administrative contributions. He collaborates with Daniel Jacobson on foundational projects, reflecting a commitment to advancing sentimentalism as a robust ethical theory.
