“The writing is accessible and powerful, and the reader will learn from the deep insights expressed in the plain language of Hsiao’s analysis. … Hsiao’s work is simply brilliant and a must-read for Christian and non-Christian alike.” – Bernard James Mauser, PhD, Professor of Philosophy and Academic Dean, Southern Evangelical Seminary
For his continued service in this battle against radical and destabilizing trends, Tim Hsiao is to be commended. Read each essay carefully, and be rewarded. – T. Allan Hillman, PhD, Professor of Philosophy, University of South Alabama
“A sizeable and fantastic assortment of his essays … While people will not agree with everything here (welcome to ethics!), they are free within reason to disagree. His work invites that while challenging the reader to think hard about critical issues at the intersection of faith, reason, and culture.” – Corey Miller, PhD, President and CEO, Ratio Christi
I’m a philosophy professor and law enforcement officer. I am currently a Fellow at the University of Wyoming Firearms Research Center and the founder of ReasonWorks, a private company that produces educational material for law enforcement officers. Previously, I was Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Humanities, and Criminal Justice at the University of Arkansas Grantham.
My teaching and research interests are in applied ethics, environmental ethics, and criminal justice ethics. I have written on a wide array of topics, including abortion, sexual ethics, the morality of hunting and eating meat, drug control, gun control, police shootings, immigration, and corporal punishment.
I also have occasional interests in the philosophy of religion, specifically in arguments for the existence of God (natural theology).
Check out my CV for a full list of my published works. You can find me on Facebook and LinkedIn.
I have over 40 op-eds in various popular outlets, including The Hill, Quillette, The Federalist, Washington Times, Public Discourse, and Human Events.
My interest in law enforcement grew from teaching topics in applied ethics that overlapped with the criminal justice system. While still teaching full-time, I attended basic training at the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center. I have specialized training in crisis intervention (CIT), advanced roadside impaired driving enforcement (ARIDE), and field training officer (FTO) certification. I am also a master firearms instructor, as well as the creator of Case Law Cards.
I attend Southpoint church of Christ in Kansas City, Missouri.
