Tomasz Barszcz

Dr. Tomasz Barszcz is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Theory and Philosophy of Law, Faculty of Law, Canon Law and Administration, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. His academic career spans over a decade at the same institution, focusing on the intersection of legal philosophy, analogy, and moral reasoning.

• PhD in Law (2012), John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin
• Master of Philosophy (2010), John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin
• Master of Laws (2007), John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin

Barszcz's research explores the philosophical underpinnings of legal reasoning, analogy's role in jurisprudence, and the relationship between law and morality. His work often bridges medieval philosophical concepts (e.g., Aquinas, Bocheński) with contemporary legal challenges, including family law, disciplinary proceedings, and the ontological foundations of law.

His recent publications analyze legal judgments' subversiveness, the Istanbul Convention, and the legal status of minorities. These studies reflect broader trends in comparative law, ethical dimensions of legal practice, and metaphysical challenges to legal systems.

Barszcz actively participates in legal philosophy conferences, including the Congress of Young Theoreticians of Law and workshops on human rights. His work appears in journals such as Cosmos and History and Archive of Philosophy of Law, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of legal reasoning.
