roberto “our problem is to see what objectivity signifies upon a naturalistic basis; how morals are objective and yet secular and social” (Dewey, HNC: 39).

About
My academic work in philosophy is broadly inscribed into the pragmatist tradition. After a degree and a M.A. in French contemporary philosophy, in 2004 I have completed a Phd on John Dewey’s epistemology. After a thorough reconstruction of some strands of pragmatist epistemologies, I have worked towards the development of a contemporary theory of practical rationality based upon pragmatist and expressivist sources.
Starting from 2009, my research has begun to focus on the naturalistic basis of the epistemology of practice, and notably on the sustainability of an evolutionary interpretation of epistemology.
In 2009, with Rosa M. Calcaterra and G. Maddalena I have launched a new philosophical journal devoted to Pragmatism and American Philosophy: the European Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy (www.journalofpragmatism.eu).
On September 9, 2011, I have defended my Habilitation (HDR). You can find the summary report of my researches in the Papers section of this website.
