Amy Seymour is a Research Fellow at Rutgers's Center for the Philosophy of Religion and a Visiting Research Fellow at 3PR during the 2025/2026 academic year. She specializes in agency theory, particularly at the intersection of metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, and the philosophy of religion. She is interested in what we -- and the world -- must be like if we are to be free and and responsible.  What are the proper conditions for moral desert, praise, and blame? Who deserves moral consideration, and why? How should we make decisions? 

She is currently completing a monograph which argues that disagreements about the kinds of suffering a divine being could permit are often disagreements about metaphysics rather than ethics. Interlocutors often agree on general ethical principles, such as "ought implies can", but disagree about what is possible and what can be done.
