Bagnoli is engaged in the construction of a normative model of individual and shared rational agency, designed to address complex phenomena such as moral perplexity and conflicts among sources of normative authority. The model is based on considerations of interconnected, limited and embodied practical subjects. The task is to develop this model to address the normative challenges of globalization during her three-year research tenure at the National Academy of Lincei.
