Stavros Orfeas Zormpalas received his PhD in Philosophy from Brown University in 2024, under the supervision of David Christensen and Jamie Dreier.

His research lies in (meta)ethics, moral psychology, and connected questions in epistemology. His main project concerns a virtuous kind of dogmatism that characterises our moral commitments; that is, the fact that we arguably morally and epistemically ought to prioritise our intuitive moral commitment for or against certain acts, over our commitment to any theory about the nature of goodness and badness. As such, his research concerns the topics of moral revision and moral dogmatism in humans and, more recently, in artificial agents too.

Currently, he teaches philosophy courses in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
