Biography
Bana Bashour is Tenured Associate Professor of Philosophy and Director of General Education at the American University of Beirut. Her research is at the intersection of the philosophy of mind, ethics and moral psychology. In 2013, She published an edited anthology with Hans Muller entitled Contemporary Philosophical Naturalism and Its Implication.
"Bana Bashour offers a novel account of moral responsibility grounded in normative reflection, philosophy of mind, and experimental results produced by both philosophers and psychologists. She sidesteps stale debates about free will and determinism to explain what we’re doing when we attribute—and also when we misattribute—moral responsibility to each other and ourselves."
