Mattia Filippo Orsatti

Mattia Filippo Orsatti works on the history of eighteenth-century and classical German philosophy, with a particular focus on Hegel and modern rationalism. His doctoral work examined the role of Leibniz and the Leibnizian tradition in Hegel’s thought. He is interested in the categories and tools through which philosophy takes shape as a form of knowledge, and in how they are reworked within a tradition. His work focuses particularly on the interplay between philosophy and other domains of knowledge as the circulation of problems and models, as well as on the ways philosophy understands its own practice, methods, and historical character.
