Luca Stroppa

I completed my PhD in 2024 under the supervision of  Maurizio Mori (FINO, Turin University), Theron Pummer and Justin Snedegar (both at St. Andrews University). In 2026 I taught Applied Ethics and Care Ethics for Nurses and Midwives at the University of Turin..

I obtained my Master’s degree at Stockholm University in 2019, under the supervision of Krister Bykvist, and I completed my Bachelor’s at the Università Statale di Milano under the supervision of Renato Pettoello in 2017.

I work mainly on value theory (especially population axiology and decision theory), climate ethics, bioethics, and the ethics of risk. My PhD research focused on what makes the difference between a good and a bad life, and is an attempt to challenge some background assumptions in Population Ethics in order to make some progress towards a population axiology. My current work concerns lexical value, sequential choice and climate commitments, and the ethics of predictive diagnostics. I have also written a book in Italian on the dualism of practical reason (Il Dualismo della Ragion Pratica, Carocci, 2026). I am also interested in wellbeing theories, plant ethics,  personal identity, infinite ethics, and logical puzzles such as Sorites arguments and spectrum arguments.
