Mike Zhao is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, affiliated with the Department of Philosophy. He joined the university in 2020 after earning his Ph.D. from New York University in 2018. His research focuses on ethics, meta-ethics, and moral psychology, exploring intersections between philosophical theory and empirical inquiry.
Education: Ph.D. in Philosophy from New York University (2018).
Research interests include narrative approaches to meaning and purpose, the psychological underpinnings of ethical decision-making (e.g., sunk cost effects), and foundational questions about moral realism and anti-realism. His work bridges analytic philosophy with insights from cognitive science and moral psychology.
Recent publications (2024) address sunk cost reasoning in ethics, challenges to moral anti-realism, and narrative frameworks for understanding human purpose. These studies reflect his commitment to integrating theoretical rigor with practical applications in moral cognition.
