Author Biography
C. Thi Nguyen is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Utah Valley University. His research concerns the ways in which our rationality and agency are socially embedded -how our ways of thinking and deciding are conditioned by features of social organization, community, technology, and art practices. He is particularly interested in the way in which designed social structures can change how we reason, value, and act. He has published on trust, expertise, group values, group agency, community art, cultural appropriation, aesthetic testimony, and the philosophy of games. He is a founding editor of the Journal of the Philosophy of Games. He received his PhD from UCLA. Once, he was a food writer for the Los Angeles Times.
