I work on aesthetics (esp. literature and music), metaphysics, and Asian philosophy. My favorite topics are found at their intersections.

I’m also committed to public philosophy. My writings have appeared in WIRED, LA Times, USA Today, Public Seminar, The Philosopher, and Aesthetics for Birds, among others.

Before joining Arizona, I taught at Macalester College. And before that, I received my PhD in Philosophy and PhD minor in Comparative Literature from Stanford.

Here is my C.V., and you can reach me at hhkim@arizona.edu.
