Biography

My name is Dick Timmer. I am an Assistant Professor (wissenschaftlicher Beschäftigter, fixed-term) in moral and political philosophy at the Technical University Dortmund. I think and write about distributive justice, economic ethics, climate change, responsibility, activism, state neutrality, and moral status, among other things. I am also interested in meta-oriented questions about methods and arguments in normative philosophy.
