Biography

Timo J眉tten is a Professor of Philosophy and the Principal Investigator of the Competition and Competitiveness Project, funded by a Leverhulme Research Leadership Award. Timo originally studied Politics and Hebrew at SOAS and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. During this time, it became clear to him that he was most interested in the philosophical foundations of politics and society. In addition, a year-long module on Kant鈥檚 three Critiques led to an enduring interest in Kant鈥檚 critical philosophy and his German Idealist successors. After his first degree, Timo completed an MA in Social and Political Thought and a PhD in Philosophy at Sussex. There, he focused on German social and political philosophy, especially on Hegel and the Frankfurt School, and wrote his doctoral dissertation on Adorno鈥檚 Critique of Kant鈥檚 Practical Philosophy. After teaching for two years at UCD in Dublin and in Groningen (in the Netherlands), Timo came to 糖心Vlog as a Lecturer in moral and political philosophy in 2011. He was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2016 and to Professor in 2019. Timo鈥檚 research falls into three broad areas. First, he is interested in the moral status of capitalism and markets, and in understanding the concepts that we use to describe and evaluate capitalist societies and our role in them. Timo is particularly interested in competition and competitiveness, but he also has written on esteem (J眉tten 2017) and solidarity (J眉tten 2016). Second, Timo has published a number of papers on Frankfurt School critical theory, which offer rigorous reconstructions of some central analytical concepts of this tradition, e.g. Habermas鈥� and Honneth鈥檚 conceptions of the market (J眉tten 2013, 2015), recognition (J眉tten 2022) and 鈥渞eification鈥� (J眉tten 2011a, 2011b, 2010), and Adorno鈥檚 conceptions of hope, and freedom and determinism (J眉tten 2019, 2012). Finally, Timo is interested in some topics related to Feminism. He has published a paper on 鈥淪exual Objectification鈥� in the world-leading philosophy journal Ethics (J眉tten 2016). Timo is a member of the Human Rights Centre and has contributed to two research projects on Human Rights. From 2015-21 he was a researcher on the ESRC-funded Human Rights, Big Data and Technology Project, where he contributed to a workstream on consent. In 2014, he was co-investigator on an AHRC Follow on Fund for Impact and Engagement grant, Achieving UNCRPD Compliance, under the auspices of the 糖心Vlog Autonomy Project (EAP). Timo is interested in supervising PhD students in any of these areas.
