My review on Alexandre Lefebvre’s recent book , and the book of Gabriele Badano and Alasia Nuti, has been out in Political Theory. Both are great innovative philosophical works that explain how Rawlsianism can respond to some pressing problems nowadays. Strongly recommend! 👍

got some good news at the beginning of 2025: a political philosophy piece that I coauthored with Man-Kong Li is published in Economics & Philosophy. The article is on the tension between welfare policies and the convergence conception of public justification. Open access to all. Enjoy!

I have long been interested in the application of Confucian methods of self-cultivation (the so-called gong-fu 工夫) in democratic education. This article is a recent attempt to explore how the reading methods of Zhu Xi, a famous Neo-Confucian, can help us cultivate civic virtues. Open access to all!
