Kenneth Quek

Kenneth received a B.A. (Hons.) in Philosophy at the University of Warwick. His philosophical interests lie in metaethics (especially moral psychology), Chinese philosophy, questions surrounding explanation and ground, as well as their intersections. Currently, he is working on the notion moral praiseworthiness when one engages in moral self-improvement. It is prima facie plausible that it is morally praiseworthy to strive to become more morally praiseworthy. But is there something about the striving itself that is praiseworthy, or does its praiseworthiness end simply at getting you to become more praiseworthy? What do insights on this front have to say about the sorts of character traits, attitudes and motivations we need to morally improve ourselves? These are all questions he wishes to answer.

When he is not doing philosophy, Kenneth is often either climbing, watching horror / science fiction films, or taking long walks with friends. There is a nearby world where Kenneth decided to become a marine biologist to study whales.
