Dr. Bradford Kim is a lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Southampton, specializing in Ancient Chinese Philosophy, Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy, and Ethics. He earned his DPhil in Philosophy from the University of Oxford and has previously served as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Polonsky Academy for Advanced Study and taught at Auburn University. His research critically examines the intersection of moral and political philosophy with global histories, particularly focusing on ancient philosophical traditions. Through his analysis, Dr. Kim aims to reveal the fundamental distinctions and connections between ancient and modern philosophical thought. His work often revisits and challenges conventional interpretations of Aristotle, particularly concerning notions of self-interest and altruism. He has published articles in leading journals, including the British Journal for the History of Philosophy, where he explores themes related to virtue, friendships, and the interpretations of Aristotle's ethical framework. Dr. Kim is also accepting applications for PhD students interested in these areas of philosophy.
