Biography
Andres Moles read Philosophy at the National University of Mexico (UNAM) finishing in 2001, and received an MA in Philosophy and Social Theory (2003) and a PhD in Politics (2007) both at the University of Warwick. His research and teaching interests cover a range of topics in contemporary political and moral philosophy, with particular reference to liberal and democratic thought, and issues concerning social and distributive justice. His principal contribution to these fields lies in developing political theory in a way that is informed by current debates in the social and behavioural sciences. His central aim is to ask whether certain popular liberal arguments can be sustained in light of recent findings in these social sciences.
