About me

I joined the philosophy department at Stirling in September 2005 after having briefly taught at Oxford University and the University of Otago in New Zealand.  I am not new to Scotland, however, as I did my MLitt and PhD at the University of St Andrews. 

Research

My interests in philosophy are very broad.  Although I am first and foremost a moral philosopher (broadly construed), I am also interested in epistemology, philosophy of action, and philosophy mind.  More specifically, I am interested in the normative aspects of these subjects. I am currently working on various topics within the theories of practical reason and rationality. 

Teaching

Dr Hurtig is currently a Visiting research Fellow at Univeristy of Uppsala in Sweden.
