The research group in practical philosophy does research in practical philosophy in a broad sense, but with special emphasis on ethics and political philosophy.

The members of the research group have comprehensive proficiency in philosophy and interdisciplinary research. The group’s research interests include value theory, normative ethics, political philosophy, and metaethics, and include topics such as: Animal ethics, bioethics, corporate social responsibility, environmental philosophy, ethics of technology, feminist philosophy, medical ethics, needs, philosophy of education, republicanism, responsible research and innovation, theory of democracy, and trust.

The research group meets regularly to discuss its members’ research. We also organize a yearly workshop with presentations and discussion.
