Kyle Johannsen is a Canadian philosopher whose work covers animal ethics, environmental ethics, political philosophy, and social philosophy. He has written on ethical duties toward wild animals. Johannsen is affiliated with Trent University and Queen's University. He is the author of A Conceptual Investigation of Justice (2018) and Wild Animal Ethics (2020), and the editor of Positive Duties to Wild Animals (2024). He also hosts the Animal Studies podcast on the New Books Network.
Johannsen studied philosophy and history at York University, receiving a B.A. in 2007 and an M.A. in 2009. He then completed a PhD in philosophy at Queen's University in 2015.[1] In his fourth year at Queen's, he won first place in the Canadian Philosophical Association's student essay competition for "On the Normative Status of Justice".[2] His dissertation, On the Conceptual Status of Justice, was supervised by Christine Sypnowich.[3]
From 2016 to 2017, Johannsen was a visiting assistant professor at Saint Mary's University, Halifax. He was then a visiting assistant professor at Trent University from 2017 to 2018, and remained there as a sessional faculty member from 2018.[1] In 2020, he became an adjunct assistant professor at Queen's University and a Fellow in Animals in Philosophy, Politics, Law, and Ethics (APPLE).[1] He is also a host of the Animal Studies podcast on the New Books Network.[4]
Works
Johannsen's first book, A Conceptual Investigation of Justice, was published in 2018 and revised his doctoral dissertation for book form.[5] The book was the subject of a symposium at the Canadian Philosophical Association's 2018 meeting, and the papers from that symposium were later published in Dialogue: Canadian Philosophical Review.[6]
His second book, Wild Animal Ethics, was published by Routledge in 2020.[7] It argues that humans can have positive duties to reduce wild animal suffering, and approaches the issue from a deontological perspective.[8] In 2021, APPLE held a symposium on the book at Queen's University, and the papers from that event were later published in Philosophia.[9][10] The book was also reviewed by Thomas Lepeltier in the French-language magazine Sciences Humaines.[11]
In 2024, Johannsen edited Positive Duties to Wild Animals, a collection of essays on duties toward wild animals and intervention in nature.[12] The volume was first published as a special issue of Ethics, Policy & Environment.[13]
