Daniel Muñoz

I’m a moral philosopher who loves politics, economics, and formal techniques.

In 2019, I received my PhD from MIT. After two years at Monash University and five at UNC Chapel Hill, I started as Senior Lecturer at the ANU.

My first book was Ethical Theory: 50 Puzzles, Paradoxes, and Thought Experiments (Routledge, 2024) with Sarah Stroud. Next is What We Owe to Ourselves (OUP), which argues for a “Self–Other Symmetric” theory of rights and freedoms.
