I’m full professor for history of philosophy working primarily on the
history of Late Renaissance, Early Modern and Enlightenment philosophy. I am
member of the editorial boards of several periodicals, among which Giornale Critico della Filosofia Italiana,
Rivista di Storia della Filosofia, Historia Philosophica, and series (“International
Archives for the History of Ideas”, “Women in the History of Philosophy and
Science”, “Epicurea”).
I got in 2009 the La Bruyère Award for
Philosophy, given by the Académie Française (Paris) for my book Skepsis. Le débat des modernes sur le
scepticisme (Paris, Vrin, 2008) and in 2011 the Prize of the Accademia dei Lincei (Rome) for
Philosophy. This prize is given
every ten years for the scientific production of the prize winner over the past
decade
I am the author, editor or co-editor of 45 books and 207 articles and chapters.
Primary fields of research
- History of philosophy (Renaissance, Early Modern, Enlightenment)
- History of Early Modern Scepticism
- History of 17th century Philosophy (Gassendi, Hobbes, Descartes, Elisabeth of Bohemia Bayle)
- History of 18th century Philosophy (Condillac, Hume, Emilie du Châtelet, Diderot, Clandestine Philosophy and Radical Enlightenment)
Current research
I’m working primarily in the
field of Early Modern philosophy (on Hobbes and Gassendi) and Enlightenment
philosophy (David Hume’s Dialogues
and their continental sources and context).
I’m interested in problems in the history of empiricism, especially
concerning the relations between philosophy and sciences. In this connection,
I’m especially interested in problems in epistemology, method, gender equality,
and philosophy of mind.
I am currently working on a book on skepticism and empiricism from Bayle to Hume, another book on Hume’s Dialogues and his French partners, and finally one with a comprehensive history of clandestine ideas, from Bodin to 18th century.
