About Hugh Desmond

I’m a philosopher working on a spectrum of issues between philosophy of science and ethics. My main focus concerns the logic and normative implications of evolutionary theory: evolutionary progress, human nature, organismic agency, human enhancement. I also publish broadly on other topics in general philosophy of science, moral psychology, and social epistemology. Topics include: research integrity, trust in science and scientists, incentives in science, the value-free ideal, the ethics of social media.
