Biografie

Brief biographical details:

I’ve studied in Bologna (with periods abroad in Lyon and Paris), where I graduated in 2020 cum laude, winning the “Di Biase-Laveglia” first prize for my thesis. I’m currently a PhD student at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, in co-tutorship with the Bergische Universität Wuppertal, and a Gastforscher at the Husserl Archives in Cologne. My research is centred around phenomenology and anthropology, with a strong focus on the thought of Hans Blumenberg. I have lectured in national and international conferences, and I have published on phenomenology, anthropology, musicology and literature. At the Husserl Archives I’m helping with Landgrebe’s estate.

 

Title and abstract of thesis project:
 

What I want to show is how the philosophy of Hans Blumenberg puts into practice what could be called an “ethos of time”, which entails both the philosopher himself and the reader. This will be achieved in four movements:

1. Entlastung vom Absoluten and Umwegen.
2. Phenomenological anthropology as general field of foundation and justification.
3. Technology and (non-)conceptuality of using technology.
4. Zeitgewinn and Nachdenklichkeit.

While the “ethos of time” is not explicit in his works, it is a distinctly recognizable underlying principle which is instantiated in various ways throughout his entire production. Blumenberg is often critical, oblique and apodictical, requiring the active hermeneutical role of the reader of his hermetic works, usually dealing with the failures of philosophy from a sceptical perspective. It is possible to ground the idea of the “ethos of time” reconstructing how Blumenberg conceives not only the space for philosophy, but also how he relates to it – which is, as we shall argue, what most of his philosophizing is about, namely discussing philosophically the origins and the limits of philosophy itself.
