Andreas Vassiliou
Biography
Andreas Vassiliou is the Darby Fellow in Law at Lincoln College since 2024.
His research interests concern philosophy of practical reason, general jurisprudence, and theory of criminal and private law.
He read for his DPhil under the supervision of Prof. Nicos Stavropoulos. His thesis used as a foil Joseph Raz's exclusion model to argue that the standard view of practical reason, the balance model, has the resources to offer a cogent account of the normative imprint of various phenomena, from personal decisions and voluntary undertakings to authoritative directives and rules.
Prior to his doctoral research, he read for his LLB and his LLM in philosophy of law at the University of Athens and then moved to Oxford for his MJur.
