Malcolm Morano

Malcolm Morano is a PhD candidate in philosophy at Harvard University. His dissertation attempts to develop a theory of what the question of "the meaning of life" is a question about, why we ask it, and how answers to it (or the lack thereof) are related to our deepest ethical commitments. He is broadly interested in the nature of normativity, the way ethical commitments do or do not require certain metaphysical views for support, and the role of utopian thinking in politics. Malcolm was formerly an Ethics Pedagogy Fellow at the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics and holds a BA in Philosophy and Music from Fordham University.
