Background

PH Wong finished 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 has finished his M.Phil with the thesis entitled "Names and Assertion: On Soames's Millian Descriptivism". After finishing his M.Phil degree, he has taught courses in Ethics, Social & Political Philosophy and Liberal Studies in various institutions in Hong Kong. Since then, he has become more and more interested in Practical Philosophy.

Research

In July 2008, He has joint the Department of Philosophy at University of Twente as a PhD Research Fellow, working on the project "Cultural, Political and Religious Ideologies and the Appraisal of New Media", which is a sub-project of the VICI project on the "Evaluation of the Cultural Quality of New Media".
