About
Alan Strudler is a distinctive voice in applied ethics and legal philosophy, best known for his incisive work on moral responsibility, deception, and the ethics of technology. His research spans the ethics of negotiation, corporate responsibility, and the moral status of artificial entities. Strudler’s most-cited paper, “Should Robots Have Rights or Rites?” (2023, 7 citations), offers a provocative Confucian cross-cultural lens on how we ought to treat robots—not merely as rights-bearers but as participants in ritual and social practice. This work exemplifies his broader contribution: challenging Western assumptions by integrating non-Western ethical frameworks into contemporary debates. Beyond this, Strudler has published influential analyses on the morality of bluffing in negotiations and the limits of corporate moral agency, often cited in business ethics and legal scholarship. His writing is noted for its clarity, philosophical depth, and willingness to unsettle conventional wisdom. For students and researchers, Strudler’s work demonstrates how ethical theory can engage with pressing real-world questions—from boardroom tactics to robot ethics—while remaining rigorously grounded in philosophical tradition.
