About

I am also member of Società Italiana di Filosofia Teoretica , of Societé Française de Philosophie, of Akademie Deutsch-Italienischer Studien, Meran, and of Martin-Heidegger-Gesellschaft.

Research interests

My research interests lie in the areas of Epistemology, Metaphysics and Ontology; Greek philosophy; Logic; Philosophy of Time, Philosophy of Art; Italian and English Philosophical Lexicon.

In particular, I am interested in the dialogue between phenomenological philosophy and theoretical physics on the question of time and space. In this context, the problem of the difference between space-time understood in a strictly physical sense and space and time understood in artistic creation is relevant. This also raises the question of the meaning of truth: how can the relationship between 'physical truth' and 'artistic truth' be understood? And what are the consequences for the philosophy of art and artistic ethics?
