Research Overview
I have an interest in Immanuel Kant¡¯s practical philosophy, mainly his philosophy of law. I study the connection between Kant¡¯s philosophy of law and his theoretical philosophy or ethics and how this connection affects his understanding of law, and attempt to clarify its implications to the current world. I am also interested in Kant¡¯s ethics and thoughts of contemporary political philosophers, such as John Rawls and J¨¹rgen Habermas, whose theories are influenced by Kant¡¯s philosophy.
