Ugo Zilioli

I am currently JFF Researcher at the Faculty of Theology and Religion, Oxford University, working on ancient metaphysics (Greek and Indian Buddhist). I am also a member of the Oxford Network for Ancient philosophy: https://onap.web.ox.ac.uk/. I gained the Laurea in Filosofia at the University of Bologna (1997), my PHD at Durham University (2002). More recently, I was awarded a PGCE in Classics (Liverpool Hope). I held teaching and research positions at various universities across Europe: Exeter and Durham (UK), TCD (Ireland) and Parma and Pisa (Italy). I also enjoyed teaching Classics in Sixth-forms and secondary schools in the UK. My research interests mainly lie in the history of ideas--from ancient philosophy, both ancient and non-western, to contemporary metaphysics. I am also very keen on the public uses of philosophy, that is, how philosophy can reach out for the benefit of the general public. For this aim, I have co-founded The Well-Pheal Foundation: http://www.well-pheal.org
