Igor Pribac (born 1958) is a Slovenian translator.
Born in Koper in the Slovenian Littoral, then part of Yugoslavia, where he attended high school. He studied philosophy and sociology at the University of Ljubljana. He obtained a MA with a thesis on Spinoza's criticism of Descartes under the supervision of the philosopher Božidar Debenjak. In 1998, he obtained a PhD with a thesis on natural law in Hobbes and Spinoza. From 1985 to 2021, he taught at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana.
He has translated several philosophical texts from English and Italian, including Will Kymlicka, Paolo Virno, Cesare Beccaria, and Thomas Hobbes.
He has also written on a variety of subjects, including psychology and psychoanalysis, natural law, early modern political theory, and the notion of post-modernism. He has published several reflections on contemporary issues, including on animal rights, television, and the changing role of marriage in post-modern societies, from a philosophical perspective. He has been a supporter of euthanasia and of the basic income.
Allegations of sexual harassment[]
On 17 November 2020, it was reported by Požareport[1] that the Senate of the University of Ljubljana had rejected Pribac's application for habilitation due to his alleged sexual harassment of two female students.[2] Pribac had previously been accused of making inappropriate comments on his Twitter feed in 2016 following the 2015-2016 New Year's sexual assaults in Germany.[3]
