​Welcome to my website! I'm Rosalind Chaplin, Assistant Professor of philosophy at UNC Chapel Hill. I have wide-ranging interests in Kant, early modern philosophy, and contemporary ethics and moral psychology.  

In my historical research, my projects focus primarily on Kant’s idealism, his criticisms of traditional metaphysics, disputes about the infinite and the indeterminate, and debates in early modern metaphysics and philosophy of mind more generally. In my research in ethics and moral psychology, I focus on the moral emotions, the role of reactive attitudes in our responsibility practices, and the significance of close personal relationships for a compelling account of the reactive attitudes. See my research page for more information about my work. 

Prior to coming to UNC Chapel Hill, I was a Bersoff fellow at NYU, a visiting researcher at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and a graduate student at UC San Diego and Simon Fraser University.
