Author Information

Pietro Gori is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy and an integrated member of the Institute of Philosophy at NOVA University Lisbon, where he teaches Philosophy of Science and Philosophy of Knowledge, among other subjects. His main areas of academic focus include Modern and Contemporary Western Philosophy, the History and Philosophy of Science, Epistemology, and Philosophical Anthropology. Within this framework, Gori has devoted particular attention to figures associated with the anti-foundationalist turn in philosophy, with a specific focus on the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, William James, and Ernst Mach. Since 2021, his research has also centered on the work of British philosopher of science Mary B. Hesse and her post-empiricist approach. His extensive body of publications includes monographs, edited volumes, scholarly editions, book chapters, and articles in international journals.
