Francesco
Gandellini

Dr. Francesco Gandellini is a postdoctoral researcher in philosophy whose work bridges historical insights with current debates. Francesco’s research investigates the conditions under which philosophical discourse can be meaningful and what they imply for metaphysics, the inquiry into reality’s most fundamental structure. By examining the views of Spinoza and those who follow in his tradition, he argues that metaphysicians’ explanatory projects lack clear content and sheds light on what it means to “explain” in philosophy.

He enjoys long distance cycling, devouring postmodern novels, and spending time with his two loves: Sara and Lea (the dog).
