Current Research

Muldoon's research aim has been developing New Diversity Theory, a novel approach to social and political philosophy that he first began developing in his 2016 book Social Contract Theory for a Diverse World. His work emphasizes the value of diversity, dynamism and discovery. His work, which ranges from political philosophy to the philosophy of science, relies on the tools and insights of the interdisciplinary field of Philosophy, Politics and Economics.
