Michael Huemer (/ˈhjuːmər/; born 27 December 1969) is a professor of philosophy at the University of Colorado, Boulder.[1] He has defended ethical intuitionism, direct realism, libertarianism, substance dualism, reincarnation, the repugnant conclusion,[2] and philosophical anarchism.
Huemer graduated from the University of California, Berkeley and earned his Ph.D. at Rutgers University in 1998 under the supervision of Peter D. Klein.[3]
Huemer is a philosophical dualist.[4] His book Ethical Intuitionism (2005) was reviewed in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews,[5] Philosophy and Phenomenological Research[6] and Mind.[7]
Huemer is the author of The Problem of Political Authority (2013), which argues that the modern arguments for political authority fail and that society can function properly without state coercion.[8] Huemer is an agnostic.[9]
Huemer has defended phenomenal conservatism, the idea that it is reasonable to assume that things are as they appear, except when there are positive grounds for doubting this.
Huemer has stated that the presence of evil in the world such as children with terrible diseases is strong evidence that an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent God does not exist.[9]
Huemer has argued that immaterial souls exist.[9] He has defended reincarnation in his paper "Existence Is Evidence of Immortality".[10]
Huemer is an advocate of ostroveganism, a plant-based diet with the addition of oysters and other bivalves.[11][12] Ostroveganism has been described as a type of "new omnivorism".[12]
In 2016, Huemer debated Bryan Caplan on the ethical treatment of animals, including insects.[13] In 2018, Huemer commented: "In the overwhelming majority of actual cases, meat eaters do not have any reasons that could plausibly be claimed to justify the pain and suffering caused by their practice."[14]
His Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism (2019) is a series of dialogues on the ethics of eating meat. Peter Singer, who wrote the foreword to book, commented that "In the future, when people ask me why I don't eat meat, I will tell them to read this book."[15][16]
Huemer is married to Iskra Fileva.[4]
