Wong, P.H. (Pak Hang)
Research profile
PH Wong completed both his BA (1st Hons) in History & Philosophy and M.Phil in Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong. Intrigued by the philosophical puzzles concerning the semantics and pragmatics of proper names, he decided to take up some of these puzzles in his master research project, and he finished his M.Phil with the thesis entitled “Names and Assertions: On Soames’s Millian Descriptivism”. After finishing his M.Phil, he has taught courses in Ethics, Social & Political Philosophy and Liberal Studies in various tertiary institutions in Hong Kong. Since then, he has become more and more interested in issues in practical philosophy.
He has joint the Department of Philosophy at University of Twente as a PhD Research Fellow in July 2008, working on the research project “Cultural, Political and Religious Ideologies and the Appraisal of New Media”, which is a sub-project in the VICI project “Evaluation of the Cultural Quality of New Media”.
