Eirik Lang Harris teaches at Colorado State University. His research is in the fields of political philosophy, ethics, and philosophy of law, with a focus on the early Chinese tradition, especially Confucian and Legalist views on the relationship between morality and politics. Although finding these thinkers fascinating in their own right, one of the main goals of his research is to demonstrate that the ideas of these early Chinese thinkers can illuminate many contemporary philosophical debates and contribute meaningfully to discussions in contemporary ethics and political philosophy.
