Field：Political Philosophy, Bioethics

My research has centered on the political thinking of Hannah Arendt, particularly with regard to the relationship between philosophy and politics over political judgment. In the field of bioethics, I am interested in how we can talk about bioethical issues that emerge with the advanced technological development of life science as public matters without sacrificing the integrity and nuances of academic discussions. Through my research, I hope to bring the insights of political philosophy and contribute to the vitalization of public debate on bioethics.
