Yili Zhou

Yili Zhou, a philosopher and a classical pianist. Her main interests lie in metaethics, aesthetics (esp. the philosophy of music), and Chinese philosophy. She is currently a postdoc at Zhejiang University in China.

Yili received her Ph.D. in Philosophy with a Ph.D. minor in Piano Performance & Music Education from the University of Arizona. She has multicultural and multidisciplinary experiences: before pursuing her Ph.D. in the US, she spent her entire life living and studying in China; prior to attending the music school at UofA, she was only surrounded by philosophers. These experiences have equipped her to recognize the overlaps between Chinese ethics and ethics in the analytic philosophy tradition, as well as to understand how musicians approach and discuss topics, such as issues about normativity, differently from philosophers. Her goal is to bridge gaps, integrate diverse perspectives, and write from the dual perspectives of a philosopher and a musician, as well as from the perspectives of both a Chinese philosopher and an analytic philosopher.

周奕李是一名哲学家及古典钢琴演奏家，其主要研究兴趣包括元伦理学、美学（特别是音乐哲学）以及中国哲学。目前，她是中国浙江大学的一名博士后研究员。

周奕李于美国亚利桑那大学（University of Arizona）获得哲学博士学位，同时辅修钢琴演奏与音乐教育博士学位。她拥有跨文化与跨学科的丰富背景：在赴美攻读博士学位之前，她一直在中国生活和学习；在进入亚利桑那大学音乐学院之前，她的学习环境主要由哲学家组成。这些经历使她能够洞察中国伦理学与分析哲学传统中的伦理学之间的联系，同时也使她理解音乐家在探讨规范性等话题时，与哲学家截然不同的思维方式与讨论方法。她的研究目标是弥合差异、整合多元视角，从哲学家与音乐家的双重视角，以及中国哲学家与分析哲学家的双重视角展开写作与思考。
