Who are we?

The Interdisciplinary Centre for Ethics offers an excellent international work environment. Our research interests include (but are not limited to) ethics, bioethics, practical ethics, experimental philosophy, moral psychology, philosophy of science, political philosophy, philosophy of law, and epistemology.

Although our research interests are diversified, we focus on problems that bridge the gap between philosophy and practice. We use an interdisciplinary approach to deal with philosophical problems in practical contexts: both "armchair" methods typical for the humanities and social sciences (conceptual analysis, case studies), as well as empirical methods (behavioral experiments, corpus analysis, topic modeling).

The Interdisciplinary Centre for Ethics (INCET) is currently hosting BIOUNCERTAINTY Starting Grant funded by the European Research Council (ERC) led by Tomasz Żuradzki, the head of the Centre. INCET also hosts 7 successful POLONEZ BIS postdocs (POLONEZ BIS a postdoctoral programme, co-funded by the European Commission under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND grant) and other research projects.
