Luca Dondoni

Before joining UCL, I completed an MPhil. Stud. in Philosophy at King’s College London, studied at Collegio Ghislieri (Pavia, IT) –– where I received a B.A. and M.A. from the University of Pavia, and an M.A. from IUSS –– and visited the Departments of Philosophy at the Central European University (HU) and at Durham University (UK). My main research interests lie at the crossroads between ancient Greek philosophy (especially, later Plato and the Presocratics) and contemporary metaphysics of mind (especially, consciousness), with a specific focus on the distribution of mind within the physical reality. As a Keeling Doctoral Scholar at UCL, my research is supervised by Dr Fiona Leigh (UCL) and Prof Raphael Woolf (KCL), and aims at investigating to what extent the Timaean metaphysics may be helpful to solve some pressing concerns in the contemporary (analytic) philosophy of mind and metaphysics of properties.
