Omid Keshmiri

Omid Keshmiri is a philosophy researcher, philosophical counselor, and PhD candidate in philosophy at the University of Tehran. His main research areas are moral philosophy, moral psychology, and epistemology, especially the epistemology of testimony. His research primarily focuses on issues such as moral error theory, moral anti-realism, constructivist perceptions, autonomy and epistemic trust, the epistemology of disagreement, and religious diversity. Two prominent lines of thought are evident in his research works: first, the examination of issues in moral philosophy and metaethics, particularly error theory and other anti-realist approaches in ethics; and second, research in the epistemology of testimony and the relationship between trusting the words of others and rationality, autonomy, and epistemic responsibility. These two areas demonstrate his concern with the relationship between individual judgment and human reliance on others, both in the realm of ethics and in the realm of knowledge.
