Short Bio
I live in Rome, where I am a postdoc at the University of Naples Federico II. Previously, I was a collaborating researcher in the graduate program in metaphysics at UnB and a member of the Unesco Archai chair. I have a PhD in philosophy from Humboldt University of Berlin and after my PhD, I had a four-year postdoctoral research stay at the Martin Buber Society of Fellows in the Humanities at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Research Interests
My research til now has concentrated on Neoplatonism, a school from the late ancient period with great historical influence and that developed the basic tools for all furture attempts to fulfill the Platonic dream of grounding human knolwedge in a certain grasp of the first principle. However, I also have interests in Brazilian philosophy (in particular the polytheist Vicente Ferreira da Silva), Classical German philosophy from Kant to Schelling, phenomenology, Jewish thought (especially kabbalah) and hellenistic astrology, amongst other subjects.
