Julian Mueller is a Professor of Political Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Graz. His main areas of research are political philosophy and applied ethics.
In political philosophy, his work focuses on the themes of reasonable and unreasonable political disagreements. In his book, Political Pluralism, Disagreement, and Justice (Routledge 2019), he develops the concept of Polycentric Democracy, a set of institutions designed to promote justice in the face of widespread disagreements about facts and norms. The book received the Werner von Melle and Roman Herzog Prizes.
In more recent work, he has explored unreasonable disagreements, formulating an epistemic theory of populist ideology. Currently, he is investigating the systematic role of the concept of truth in theories of classical liberalism.
In applied ethics, he has published on topics including migration ethics, the ethics of emerging technologies, and economic ethics.
