Julie Tannenbaum
Assistant Professor of Philosophy
Julie Tannenbaum's research involves the nature of moral action and its
relation to moral motivation. She investigates the tensions between Kantian
philosophy, which espouses action from duty, and Aristotelian philosophy,
which promotes actions arising from love, sympathy, and compassion. Her
article "Acting with Feeling from Duty" in Ethical Theory
and Moral Practice, vol. 5 (3), 2002, explores the middle ground between
these two points of view.
Tannenbaum received her B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in philosophy from UCLA.
