I am a PhD (c) in Philosophy at Universidad Diego Portales and Università di Padova. My philosophical work explores what is often referred to as “practical philosophy”—namely, moral and political philosophy—understood as a field in which the ancient concern for the art of living reemerges within modern and contemporary thought. In this sense, thinkers and writers such as Plato, M. de Montaigne, J. W. Goethe, F. Nietzsche, F. Kafka, G. Deleuze, P. Hadot, and M. Foucault form part of his constellation of references and interlocutors. I am also the founder and organizer of the Seminario Nietzsche Austral, the first chilean permanent research group dedicated to the study and discussion of Nietzsche’s life and work.
My doctoral thesis proposes an interpretation of Nietzsche’s so-called “experimental philosophy”: an approach to his moral and political thought that aims, on the one hand, to restore the philosophical significance of the biographical and intellectual period commonly referred to as the “free spirit,” and, on the other, to situate his thought within the tradition of philosophy understood as an ars vivendi.
