Pierluigi D’Agostino

Postdoc Researcher

Università degli Studi di Palermo

Pierluigi D’Agostino, PhD, completed his PhD in philosophy at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, discussing a thesis on Kant’s transcendental semantics. He has published articles and contributions in the field of the history of linguistic thought and has edited an issue of the journal Lo Sguardo on these topics. He then became interested in moral philosophy, especially in the post-Kantian sphere, with particular reference to the debate between individual free action and the unconditional normativity of practical reason.
