"My dissertation! In my dissertation, I argue for hard-line structuralism. Essentially, I argue that manipulated agents (the kind you see a lot in the free will literature) can be responsible for what they do in virtue of satisfying certain structural conditions sufficient for responsibility. It isn't a novel view, but it certainly hasn't been the most popular view in response to manipulation arguments. My aim is to revitalize the structuralist project. Please reach out for a draft!"
"Outside of work, I mostly spend my time doing two things. First, I'm really into CrossFit and working out in general. I've been doing it for a few years now, and although I am by no means good at it, I just love how physically challenging it is. It also keeps me sane, and is one of the few times of the day when I'm completely away from a screen or from thinking about philosophy."
Chris Cho is a Ph.D. candidate at Syracuse University originally from South Korea with a B.A. in Philosophy and Cognitive Science from the University of Toronto. His research focuses on free will and moral responsibility. His dissertation defends hard-line structuralism, claiming manipulated agents can bear responsibility by satisfying certain structural conditions sufficient for responsibility, aiming to revitalize the structuralist response to manipulation arguments. Outside academia he focuses on CrossFit and general workouts for physical challenge and stress relief. He has returned to reading non-philosophy novels, crediting them with improving his writing, and currently recommends a fantasy by R.F. Kuang.
