I am an associate professor of history of philosophy at the University of Turin. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vienna, at the Zukunftskolleg - University of Konstanz, and a visiting fellow in the Pittsburgh Center for Philosophy of Science. My research focuses on interactions between philosophy and the sciences in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including Hermann von Helmholtz’s epistemological writings and the debate about empirical vs. a priori origins of geometrical axioms, the epistemological background of modern axiomatics in the works of Richard Dedekind, Felix Klein, Henri Poincaré, Federigo Enriques, the philosophical implications of scientific advancements in post-Kantian philosophy, in particular the neo-Kantian movement and phenomenology. I have published the monograph Space, Number, and Geometry from Helmholtz to Cassirer (Springer) and articles in journals including HOPOS, Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, Journal for General Philosophy of Science, Philosophia Mathematica.

Fabrizio Calzavarini is an tenure-track Assistant Professor (rtd-b) at University of Turin, Italy. His research is organized into two interrelated streams. One stream falls at the intersection between the philosophy and neuroscience of semantics, focusing on the neural substrates of lexical competence and mental imagery. The other stream addresses philosophical issues in neuroscience more generally (neurophilosophy and philosophy of neuroscience). He has been visiting at the Neuroscience and Aphasia Research Unit (Manchester, 2015-2016) and the Brain Language Laboratory (Berlin, 2015). He is the Information vice-President of the International Society for the Philosophy of the Sciences of the Mind (ISPSM) and the co-founder (with M. Viola) of Neural Mechanisms Online, a series of web-conferences in the philosophy of neuroscience. He is the author of Brain and the Lexicon (Springer 2020) and several papers in international and national journals, as well as the co-editor of Neural Mechanisms. New Challenges in the Philosophy of Neuroscience (Springer 2021) 

Vincenzo Crupi is professor of Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of Turin. After studying philosophy in Turin, he obtained a MA in Philosophy of Science at the London School of Economics, then a PhD in Philosophy again in Turin. He held research positions at several institutions, including the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences in Rovereto (Trento) and the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, before taking a permanent appointment in Turin in 2011. He directed the Center for Logic, Language, and Cognition (LLC) from its foundation (2014) up to 2021.

Major research interests include classical issues in logic and philosophy of science as well as interdisciplinary research on human reasoning, rationality, and medical decision making.

My main research interests are in the philosophy of mind and aesthetics. I also work on a number of topics in the philosophy of laguage and philosophy of music. I am currently focusing on perception and its connection to memory. I published extensilvely on auditory perception, the metaphysics of sound, and the content of perceptual experience. I obtained my Ph.D. in Philosophy and Cognitive Sciences at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University (Milan) and the Institut Jean Nicod (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris). During my Ph.D. course, I spent research periods at the New York University, as a Fulbright Scholar, and the University of Sydney, as an ARIA (Association for Research between Italy and Australasia) Grantee. Before joining the Department of Philosophy and Education Sciences in Turin as an Assistant Professor of Philosophy of Mind, I spent more that four years as a postdoctoral fellow at the Polonsky Academy at The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute (Israel). Before that, I held postoctoral positions at the Italian Academy of Columbia University (NYC), Freie Universität Berlin (sponsored by DAAD), and University of Turin (sponsored by Franco and Marilisa Caligara Foundation). I completed the “High Specialization Course in Music Studies – Solo Violin Performance” at the National Academy of Santa Cecilia (Rome) in 2008. I performed in concerts of classical and jazz music—in solo performances, and chamber and symphonic orchestras—in the U.S., the U.K., Italy, Germany, France, Romania, Croatia, and Venezuela.

I currently hold a tenure-track Assistant Professor position at the University of Turin. I graduated in Philosophy at the University of Bologna (Italy) and obtained my PhD degree in Theoretical Computer Science at TU Wien (Vienna, Austria) under the supervision of Agata Ciabattoni. After my doctoral studies, I held a three year postdoctoral position at IHPST, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and CNRS (Paris, France) in the context of the project Insights from Bolzano directed by Francesca Poggiolesi. Afterwards, I held a two-year postdoctoral position at the LUCI Lab (Logic, Uncertainty, Computation and Information Lab, Department of Philosophy, University of Milan) in the context of the BRIO project (Bias, Risk, Opacity in AI: Design, Verification and Development of TrustwMorthy AI).

My research mainly concerns the development of proof-theoretical methods and their application in philosophy and theoretical computer science. I worked, in particular, on the proof-theory of non-classical logics, on the development of computational interpretations for constructive and semi-constructive logics, and on explanatory reasoning in logic and in mathematics.

Marco Giovanelli is an Associate Professor of History of Philosophy at the University of Turin. His research focuses on the interaction between the history of philosophy and the history of space-time physics in the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly Einstein’s philosophy of science, neo-Kantianism, and early logical empiricism. He serves as Contributing Editor for The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein. Among his recent publications  “Geometrization vs. Unification.

Since late 2017, I am based in Turin. I regularly publish in leading international journals, but my main publication is the monograph Bayesian Philosophy of Science (Oxford University Press, 2019, with Stephan Hartmann), which sums up a lot of my research in the preceding years. From 2015 to 2021, I have been directing the ERC Project "Making Scientific Inference More Objective". For more information, visit my personal website and my PhilPeople site.
