Antonio PICCOLOMINI D'ARAGONA

Curriculum vitae

I obtained my Bachelor Degree in Philosophy at the "Federico II" University of Naples, and my Master Degree in Philosophy at the "Sapienza" University of Rome. I did my PhD at the Aix-Marseille University (under the supervision of Gabriella Crocco) and at the "Sapienza" University of Rome (under the supervision of Cesare Cozzo) - with a grant provided by the A*MIDEX Excellence Initiative. My doctoral dissertation was about Prawitz's epistemic grounding. During the PhD I taught Logic at the Department of Philosophy of the Aix-Marseille University.

After the PhD, while keeping these Logic courses, I also taught History and Philosophy of Science, Logic, Set-Theory and Philosophy of Mathematics at the Department of Science of the Aix-Marseille University.

From Septermber 2022 to July 2023 I have been post-Doc researcher at the Department of Logic of the Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences, within the project "Meaningful formalism. A philosophy of mathematics for type theory". I took part in several conferences, workshops and congresses (see my personal web-page for more info: https://sites.google.com/site/piccdarag).
