Andrei G. Zavaliy is currently an Associate professor of philosophy at the American University of Kuwait. He received his B.A. from Nyack College, NY, and completed M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in philosophy from the City University of New York (The Graduate Center) in 2007. 

 Although focusing on moral psychology and normative ethics during his graduate studies, he has since broadened his research interests to include history of philosophy with a special emphasis on the evolutionary development of ethical concepts and the applicability of the experimental methods to philosophical controversies, especially in ethical theory. Since then, he has contributed several articles to influential philosophical periodicals in the fields of moral psychology, philosophy of religion, history of ancient thought and Aristotelian virtue ethics. Below is a representative selection of his recent publications:

 • “Cowardice and Injustice: The Problem of Suicide in Aristotle’s Ethics.” The History of Philosophy Quarterly, vol. 36, No. 4, 2019: 319-336.

• “How Homeric is the Aristotelian Conception of Courage?” The Southern Journal of Philosophy, vol. 55, Issue 3, 2017: 350-377.

• “On the Virtue of Judging Others.” Philosophical Investigations, vol. 40, No. 4, 2017: 123-45.

• “On Rational Amoralists.” The Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, vol. 42, No. 4, 2012: 365-384.

 Currently, his main research focuses on the proper denotation of certain virtue concepts in Ancient Greece, from the archaic period to the age of classical Greek philosophy, and the relevance of the earlier stages of philosophical development to contemporary philosophy.
