Michael Cholbi

I’m Professor of Philosophy at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (more colloquially known as Cal Poly Pomona). My research is principally in ethics, with particular emphases on suicide, grief, punishment, Kantian ethics, paternalism, and moral psychology. My book Understanding Kant's Ethics was published by Cambridge University Press in 2016 and my book, Suicide: The Philosophical Dimensions (2011) was named a Choice Outstanding Academic Title. I have also published over 40 peer-reviewed articles, including articles in Mind, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Philosophical Studies, American Philosophical Quarterly, Ethics, the Canadian Journal of Philosophy, and the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. I’m also a contributor to two blogs: PEA Soup, a forum for philosophical ethics, and In Socrates’ Wake, a blog on teaching philosophy. Since 2011, I have served as editor of the journal Teaching Philosophy. I’m also a founding member of the International Association for the Philosophy of Death and Dying.
