Dr. David Lefkowitz specializes in legal and political philosophy.\u00a0 His research interests span three overlapping areas: (1) the morality of obedience and disobedience to law (e.g. the basis, if any, of a moral duty to obey the law, the moral justifiability of civil disobedience, the just treatment of conscientious objectors); (2) analytical and normative issues in international law (e.g. the nature of customary international law, the legitimacy of international law, the existence (or not) of an international rule of law and its implications); and (3) substantive moral questions in the conduct of international affairs (e.g. the morality of secession, the just conduct of war).<\/p>\n

Among the courses Dr. Lefkowitz teaches on a semi-regular basis are Philosophy of Law, a First Year Seminar on Philosophy and the Criminal Law, and for the PPEL Program, a Capstone Seminar on the Ethics, Economics, and Politics of New Information and Communication Technologies.\u00a0 Dr. Lefkowitz has also taught courses on Pragmatism's contributions to legal and political philosophy, the morality of obedience and disobedience to law, and the philosophy of international law.<\/p>\n

From Fall 2009 through Spring 2015 Dr. Lefkowitz served as the founding coordinator of the Program in Philosophy, Politics, Economics, and Law (PPEL)<\/a>, an interdisciplinary major with a focus on normative questions of law and public policy.\u00a0 He has been a visiting research fellow at Princeton University\u2019s Center for Human Values<\/a>, the U.S. Naval Academy\u2019s Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership<\/a>, and the National University of Singapore<\/a>, and a visiting research scholar at Pompeu Fabra University<\/a>.<\/p>\n
