Antonio M. Nunziante

I am Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Padua. My work lies in theoretical philosophy, at the crossroads of metaphysics, naturalism, and the philosophy of culture, and proceeds largely through a genealogy of concepts. I began with Leibniz, working on the concepts of life and organism, and later turned to American philosophical naturalism, focusing on Wilfrid Sellars and his engagement with modern Western philosophy. My latest book, Naturalism and Civilization: The Evolutionary Way to History, Culture, and Religion (Springer Nature, 2026), traces the transformation of naturalism from a philosophical position into a normative framework shaping Western institutions and culture.
