Per Roald Bauhn (born 23 July 1960 in Markaryd, Kronoberg County) is a Swedish philosopher and a professor of practical philosophy at the University of Kalmar since 2004, and at Linnaeus University since 2010. His main subjects include the study of ethics and political philosophy. He has authored books on topics as diverse as nationalism, political terrorism, the virtue of courage, and the duty to rescue. He has also contributed to the field of philosophical aesthetics. Per Bauhn's philosophical work is inspired by the agency-based ethical theory of Alan Gewirth. He is married (since 2013) to Turkish sociologist and women's studies scholar Fatma Fulya Tepe.
