Christian Seidel is Professor of Philosophy at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). His main interests include personal autonomy (the topic of his book Selbst bestimmen. Eine philosophische Untersuchung personaler Autonomie), issues in moral and political philosophy (consequentialism, moralism, distributive justice, egalitarianism, climate ethics, and the ethics of risk) as well as British moral and social philosophy in the 19th century (John Stuart Mill and Henry Sidgwick).
