Occupation: official, researcher, writer, thinker.5
- Date not recordedFounded The Uehiro Foundation on Ethics and Education4
Uehiro established the Uehiro Foundation on Ethics and Education in 1987. The foundation later became a partner of the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. According to Carl B. Becker, the foundation was influenced by Uehiro's father, Tetsuhiko Uehiro, a survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, who had founded a traditional ethics organisation in Japan. Uehiro considered that organisation insufficiently universal or international in scope.
In 2002, Uehiro established the Uehiro Chair in Practical Ethics at the University of Oxford. This was followed in 2003 by the formation of the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics.
