About Timothy
Timothy Weidel, Ph.D., serves as Associate Professor and Department Co-Chair of Philosophy at Gonzaga University. He received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Loyola University Chicago in 2012, along with an M.A. in Philosophy from the same institution, and a B.A. in Philosophy from John Carroll University. Dr. Weidel's teaching focuses on social and political philosophy and applied ethics. His research primarily addresses global poverty and issues in global justice, emphasizing moral motivation and moral psychology. Current projects explore Effective Altruism, particularly whether the Longtermist variant provides adequate moral motivation for individual action. He is also co-editing a collected volume on the challenges encountered by ethicists across various professional settings. Additional scholarly interests encompass Marx, Critical Theory, Bioethics, Professional Ethics, and Feminist Ethics.
Dr. Weidel has an extensive publication record in his fields. Notable articles include 'Justice for (and by) Philosophers: Professional Ethics and Punishing Our Own' in Journal of Social Philosophy (2024), 'Laudato Si, Marx, and a Human Motivation for Addressing Climate Change' in Environmental Ethics (2019), 'Moving Towards a Capability for Meaningful Labor' in Journal of Human Development and Capabilities (2018), 'Philanthropy, Cosmopolitanism, and the Benefits of Giving Directly' in Journal of Global Ethics (2016), 'Ideology and the Harms of Self-Deception: Why We Should Act to End Poverty' in Ethical Theory and Moral Practice (2016), and 'The "Ugliness" of Economic Efficiency: Technology, Species-Being, and Global Poverty' in Ethics and Global Politics (2015). Forthcoming work includes A Companion to Doing Ethics, co-edited with Alan R. Preti (Wiley-Blackwell, 2025). His doctoral dissertation, 'Beyond Utility, Rights, and Care: An Alternative Approach to Global Poverty' (Loyola University Chicago, 2012), proposes a Marx-inspired framework centered on species-being and meaningful labor to combat poverty.
