Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek is Assistant Professor in the Institute of Philosophy, University of Lódz, Poland.

Together with Peter Singer she has written The Point of View of the Universe (Oxford University Press, 2014) and Utilitarianism: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press, 2017). Apart from academic work, she is keen to convey philosophical ideas to a wider audience, giving lectures and writing for popular magazines on how to live a good life.
