Korbinian Rüger

Most of my research focuses on various issues in normative ethics. In particular I work on problems in the ethics of distribution and in population ethics. Many of these have to do with risk and uncertainty, aggregation, and equality. I also think about some issues in political philosophy, practical ethics, and decision theory. Please message me for any of the working papers.
