معرفی
Ezio Di Nucci is a Professor in the Department of Public Health at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. He earned his PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 2008 with a dissertation titled 'Mind Out of Action: The Intentionality of Automatic Actions.' His academic career spans philosophy of action, applied ethics, and bioethics with increasing focus on political philosophy and violence studies.
His research interests include Philosophy of Action, Applied Ethics, The Doctrine of Double Effect, Bioethics, Political Philosophy, and Ethics of Technology. His work demonstrates a progression from foundational philosophical questions about agency to increasingly politically engaged scholarship addressing contemporary social issues.
His publications reveal a clear trajectory from theoretical work on the philosophy of action toward more applied and politically engaged scholarship. His recent book 'Demoralizing Violence' (2025) represents a significant intervention in debates about non-violence, structural injustice, and political resistance, arguing that non-violent ethics can be oppressive and helps the privileged tolerate structural injustice. His work often bridges analytic philosophy with continental and critical theory approaches.
His scholarly contributions include numerous journal articles on topics ranging from the Trolley Problem to sexual rights and disability. His 2014 article 'Trolleys and Double Effect in Experimental Ethics' challenged conventional understandings of the Trolley Problem, while his 2025 work has focused on the political implications of violence and non-violence in contemporary society.
Di Nucci has also edited several significant volumes including 'The Rowman & Littlefield Handbook of Bioethics' (2023) and 'The Global and Social Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic' (2022), demonstrating his interdisciplinary approach that connects philosophical analysis with pressing contemporary issues.
