Professor Sorin Baiasu

Sorin Baiasu (BSc and BA - Bucharest, MA and PhD - Manchester) is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Liverpool, Director of the Liverpool-Oxford-St Andrews Kantian (LOSAK) Research Centre and Chair of the Steering Committee of the European Consortium for Political Research's Kantian Standing Group.

He is Principal Investigator of the 5-year €2m ERC-selected UKRI-funded Advanced Grant 'KantianDESERT' (Kantian Justice: A Desert-sensitive Responsibility Enhancing Theory: May 2025-April 2030). The project is designed to formulate a new model of distributive justice in response to growing global economic disparities by offering a distinctive position within dominant egalitarianisms in current political theory/philosophy. The new model will be applied to three case studies, in healthcare, education and business.
