Overview

Hasko von Kriegstein is Associate Professor in the Department of Law and Business in the Ted Rogers School of Management.

Dr. von Kriegstein works in normative ethical theory and business ethics. His focus within the former is on philosophical theories of well-being and value. In business ethics, he is currently most interested in critically exploring arguments for the conclusion that business and ethics are incompatible.

Dr. von Kriegstein holds a BA in Philosophy and Economics from University Bayreuth in his native Germany (2008), and received his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Toronto for a thesis on the nature and value of achievements (2014). Prior to joining Toronto Metropolitan University, he spent a year as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for Moral and Political Philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His work is interdisciplinary, and draws upon distinct areas such as philosophy, economic theory, and corporate law. His work has been published, inter alia, in Business Ethics Quarterly, Journal of Business Ethics, Philosophical Studies, The Canadian Journal of Philosophy, Utilitas, and Business and Society Review.
