Dr. FitzPatrick serves as Director of Graduate Studies. He
specializes in moral philosophy, and is a member of the Virginia
Advisory Committee on Ethical, Legal and Social Issues in Genetic
Research, as well as chair of the New River Valley Local Human Rights
Committee. His research interests range from current metaethical
debates over the nature and source of normativity to ethical issues
surrounding embryonic stem cell research and human cloning. Some recent
projects: critiques of neo-Kantian and neo-Humean theories of practical
reason and ethics; a critique of teleological naturalism in ethics; a
defense of a moderate, non-reductive ethical realism about human value;
a defense and articulation of deontological constraints; a qualified
defense of human cloning-for-biomedical-research.
