Biography

Tom Bailey works in the field of political philosophy, focusing on Immanuel Kant's political philosophy. His historical research contributes to contemporary debates in political theory. His scholarship proposes a novel reading of Kant's 'Doctrine of Right', emphasizing the concept of political judgment rather than simply aligning with a particular institutional framework, such as republican liberalism. This work aims to set forth a substantive understanding of human rights, which is central to Kant's later political philosophy. Additionally, Bailey is actively engaged in addressing the complexities of theorizing politics, particularly in relation to agreement, collaboration, solidarity, conflict, struggle, and resistance. At the London School of Economics, he teaches courses on the history of political theory and serves as a head class teacher for the University of London's Online Undergraduate Programmes in Economics, Management, Finance, and Social Sciences.
