About Me
About Me
I am a postdoc at Chapman University's Smith Institute for Political Economy and Philosophy. I received my PhD in Philosophy from Pittsburgh in 2022.
My research centers primarily around social contract theories of morality and politics as well as the nature and justification of rights. I am particularly interested in the relationship between property rights and social convention.
Here is my CV. I can be reached at salomonmaaron@gmail.com.
