I am Professor of Practical Philosophy at the University of Helsinki. I work mostly on ethics and metaethics, on topics like normativity, meaning in life, well-being, and moral sentiments. From 2019 to 2023, I was the PI of the Academy of Finland Research Project Responsible Beliefs: Why Ethics and Epistemology Need Each Other, and am now the co-PI of Maria Lasonen-Aarnio's Kone Foundation project The Many Faces of Inquiry (2024-2028). Since November 2022, I've been an editor at my favourite journal, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research. The best way to reach me is by email at a.kauppinen (at) gmail.com.
Currently, my personal favourites among my papers include the following: On moral psychology: How Emotions Grasp Value. On normativity: Epistemic Norms and Epistemic Accountability. On well-being: Better Life Stories Make Better Lives. On meaning in life: Against Seizing the Day. On applied ethics: Who Should Bear the Risk When Self-Driving Vehicles Crash? On aesthetics: Creativity, Spontaneity, and Merit
