Lorenzo Zucca is Professor in Law & Philosophy. He is an internationally renowned scholar whose work bridges law, philosophy, politics, history, and literature. His academic journey has taken him through prestigious institutions in Milan, Paris, Oxford, Florence, and New York, before establishing his current position in London.

Professor Zucca's research is notable for its depth and breadth, exploring critical issues at the intersection of human rights law, constitutionalism, and the complex relationship between Church and State. He challenges conventional approaches to law and governance, particularly regarding religion and public life.

He is the author of Constitutional Dilemmas: Conflicts of Fundamental Legal Rights in Europe and the USA (Oxford University Press, 2007), a key reference in constitutional theory and comparative constitutional law, and A Secular Europe: Law and Religion in the European Constitutional Landscape (Oxford University Press, 2012), which critically examines religious freedom, toleration, and European identity. His prolific body of work also includes numerous influential articles on human rights theory and constitutional law.

His latest project, The Poet of Uncertainty, is a groundbreaking investigation into Shakespeare's exploration of power, knowledge, and the human condition. This ambitious work examines the philosophical and psychological dimensions of Shakespeare's writings, offering fresh insights into human cognition and the structure of social and political institutions. It presents Shakespeare’s contribution to humanity as rooted in the ability to transform uncertainty and mystery into sources of creative imagination.
