1. About Me

I’m a Senior Lecturer in the Philosophy Department at University College Cork, Ireland. I did my PhD (1994) at the London School of Economics.

I’m also Chairperson of the Labour Party Cork North Central Constituency.

I specialize in political philosophy, especially on questions of social injustice, human rights, and political violence.

My last two books are on Cicero (Why Cicero Matters – Bloomsbury 2023) and philosophy and Covid-19 (Everything Must Change: Philosophical Lessons From Lockdown – Manchester University Press 2021).

  1. Profr. Bufacchi.

    Congratulations for your website. Very nice.

    Your contributions are very important for review the violence.

    Regards from Puebla, Mexico.

    Thank you for share your researches with us.

  2. What a nice way for an academic to communicate with the public, well done on this outreach strategy. Thanks.
    I will find your book on Cicero – was searching for something about him, having read the fictionalized Imperium books.
    Best wishes,
    Brian O’Brien.

    1. Thank you Brian, there will be a book launch for ‘Why Cicero Matters’ in UCC on October 31st, 5pm, in the staff common room. I hope you can make it.
      Take care,
      Vittorio

  3. So interesting reading ‘Everything Must Change’ from my community college library in Upstate New York, in 2023. I welcome your non-US perspective! You surely have the populist, fake-news, and post truth issues pegged.

    1. Dear Edith, thank you, that’s very kind of you. My next book goes back 2000 years to Ancient Rome, ‘Why Cicero Matters’, out on October 19, 2023.
      Take care,
      Vittorio
