Marcela Herdova

The bulk of Marcela Herdova's research falls into two broad areas—that of moral psychology and the philosophy of action. Herdova's main interests revolve around understanding agential control and the degree to which we are morally responsible for our actions. These interests manifest in her exploration of transformative experiences, situationism, intentional action, self-control, addiction, determinism, and how they relate to our agency.

Herdova also has a strong interest in applied ethics, specifically in our obligations to non-human animals and our responsibility and blameworthiness for harm directed at non-human animals as well as other moral patients. As an avid photographer, she has a theoretical interest in photography from aesthetic and ethical perspectives.
