Gianni Paganini
I’m full professor for history of philosophy at the University of Piedmont (Vercelli, Italy; [email protected]) and fellow of the Accademia dei Lincei (Rome), working primarily on the history of Late Renaissance, Early Modern and Enlightenment philosophy. I am member of the editorial boards of several periodicals, among which Giornale Critico della Filosofia Italiana, Rivista di Storia della Filosofia, Historia Philosophica, and of series (“International Archives for the History of Ideas”, “Women in the History of Philosophy and Science”, “Epicurea”).
I got in 2009 the La Bruyère Award for Philosophy, given by the Académie Française (Paris) for my book Skepsis. Le débat des modernes sur le scepticisme (Paris, Vrin, 2008) and in 2011 the Prize of the Accademia dei Lincei (Rome) for Philosophy. This prize is given every ten years for the scientific production of the prize winner over the past decade
I am the author, editor or co-editor of 45 books and 218 articles and chapters.
I’m working primarily in the field of Early Modern philosophy (on Hobbes and Gassendi) and Enlightenment philosophy (David Hume’s Dialogues and their continental sources and context). I’m interested in problems in the history of scepticism and empiricism, especially concerning the relations between philosophy and sciences. In this connection, I’m especially interested in problems in epistemology, method, cosmology, and gender equality. My latest book: De Bayle à Hume. Tolérance, hypothèses, systèmes, H. Champion, Paris, 2023, p. 670

L’ensemble des interventions met remarquablement en évidence l’importance des arguments de la pensée critique et de la libre pensée à l’âge classique, qu’ils soient acceptés, refusés ou réutilisés, tout en montrant la complexité d’une époque où, malgré la censure régnante, les idées progressent à travers et grâce à un dialogue constant, qu’il soit paisible ou conflictuel, entre les penseurs plus ou moins religieux.
The essays in this book investigate how the legacy of Renaissance philosophers persisted in the following centuries through the direct encounters of subsequent generations with Renaissance philosophical texts. This volume treats Early Modern philosophers as joining their predecessors as ‘conversation partners’: the ‘conversations’ in this book
feature, among others, Girolamo Cardano and Henry More, Thomas Hobbes and Lorenzo Valla, Bernardino Telesio and Francis Bacon, René Descartes and Tommaso Campanella, Giulio Cesare Vanini and the anonymous Theophrastus redivivus.
