J. Angelo Corlett

J. Angelo Corlett is Professor of Philosophy and Ethics at San Diego State University, working primarily in analytic ethics, social and political philosophy, philosophy of law, and philosophy of religion. He is the founding editor-in-chief of The Journal of Ethics and has published widely on collective responsibility, retributive justice, race, reparations, and terrorism, as well as on philosophical theology. In philosophy of religion, Corlett has edited and contributed to debates on theism and atheism, including the volume Theism and Atheism: Opposing Arguments in Philosophy, which gathers analytic treatments of classical and contemporary arguments concerning God's existence, divine attributes, the problem of evil, and religious epistemology. His work in this domain engages standard analytic figures such as Plantinga, Swinburne, Mackie, and Rowe, while pressing questions about the burden of proof, evidentialism, and the rational assessment of theistic and atheistic claims. Corlett is also known for his engagement with the epistemology of Roderick Chisholm and for applying analytic frameworks to applied moral and political controversies. His contributions to philosophy of religion are primarily editorial and synoptic rather than systematic, providing structured platforms for opposing positions within the analytic tradition.
