Research Interests
The foundational aspiration of Colin카지노 게임 컬렉션s research is the advancement of the Enlightenment Project into the 21st century. The themes of reason, science, progress, and optimism inform his curiosity-driven research interests and interdisciplinary focus.
Main research interests are: Ethics and political theory/philosophy, including distributive justice; ideal/non-ideal theory; history of political thought, deliberative democracy; all things virtue-related: virtue ethics, virtue epistemology, and virtue jurisprudence; Analytical Marxism; play; science and justice - especially the biomedical sciences (e.g. genetics, evolutionary biology, 카지노 게임 컬렉션geroscience카지노 게임 컬렉션 and the ethics of human enhancement).
Colin Farrelly is interested in supervising students interested in research projects at the intersection of political theory and advances in the biomedical sciences and/or public health ethics and policy.

Colin is currently working on the following three major research projects:
- a new textbook titled Classics in Political Philosophy for Today (under contract with Hackett Publishing) which covers a range of political thinkers from Plato through to MLK, Jr. The book encourages students to engage with, and critically reflect upon, the contemporary significance of the history of Western political thought.
- research for a new manuscript on the social significance of 카지노 게임 컬렉션geroscience카지노 게임 컬렉션- the science of healthy aging. This multi-year project examines the limitations of public health카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노 게임 컬렉션War Against Disease카지노 게임 컬렉션- covering not only the war against infectious diseases (such as COVID-19), but also the wars against cancer and obesity. It also canvasses the progression of a century of experimental scientific research on modulating aging, from dietary restriction and genetic manipulation in laboratory organisms, to pharmacological interventions in humans.
- developing an account of a 카지노 게임 컬렉션realistic utopia카지노 게임 컬렉션 that focuses on the developmental potential of play- physical, social, and imaginative play. This project relies on insights from evolutionary biology and positive psychology, as well as philosophy and the history of political thought.
