Nicholas Vrousalis (born 1980) is an associate professor of Practical Philosophy at Erasmus University Rotterdam[1] and visiting fellow in Ethics at Harvard University.[2][3]
He is known for the idea that the exploitation of labour is a form of domination,[4] for his criticisms of G.A. Cohen's and John Roemer's theories of distribution, and for his arguments connecting the political philosophies of Immanuel Kant and Karl Marx.
Biography[edit]
Vrousalis is from Athens, Greece. He studied economics at the University of Cambridge, graduating in 2003, and earned a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Oxford in 2009, where he was supervised by G.A. Cohen.[5] His dissertation was on intergenerational justice and argued that our egalitarian obligations to present people extend with equal strength to people in the indefinite future.[6]
Academic career[edit]
Since 2009, Vrousalis has taught at the University of Cambridge, KU Leuven, Leiden University, and Erasmus University Rotterdam.[5] He has also held fellowships at Aarhus University,[7] Princeton University,[8] and Harvard University.[9]
In 2019, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research awarded Vrousalis a five-year Vidi grant for research on the relationship between freedom and economic inequality.[10] The project studies questions such as: "Under what conditions are mutually beneficial and consensual transactions unfree? And what kinds of democratic institutions does freedom require? Vrousalis' project studies these questions using the tools of contemporary moral and political philosophy, along three thematic axes: (1) freedom and economic inequality, in general, (2) the political philosophy of markets, and (3) the political philosophy of the workplace."[11]
