He currently leads a Marie Skłodowska-Curie project at the University of Tokyo. His work focuses on metaethics, moral psychology, and the empirical study of moral concepts like basic needs and moral objectivity. Pölzler's research integrates philosophical analysis with empirical methods, addressing topics such as the validity of empirical studies in moral philosophy, distributive justice, environmental ethics, and Albert Camus's philosophy.
Education: PhD in Philosophy (2015, University of Graz). Research includes the moral psychology of disagreement, the structure of basic needs concepts, and the ethical implications of self-driving cars. His books A Philosophical Perspective on Folk Moral Objectivism (2022) and Moral Reality and the Empirical Sciences (2018) explore the intersection of philosophy and empirical inquiry.
Key areas of investigation include the empirical foundations of moral realism, the role of basic needs in normative theories, and the ethics of climate change adaptation. Pölzler's interdisciplinary approach bridges philosophy with social sciences, psychology, and environmental studies.
