Who I am

How can I summarize the author in “a few words”?

The answer lies in the epitome, in the résumé, shortened here.

A human being who, gazing at “this immense Book that continually stands open before our eyes (I mean the Universe)” (Galileo Galilei, Il Saggiatore, 1623), seeks an integrated vision of Life, of Reality, in which everything is ONE. A book, that of the Universe, which “cannot be understood unless one first learns… the language,… the characters in which it is written“.

A person characterized — in his epistemological approach and in his academic and professional career — by precisely this integrated vision. Furthermore, by the use of systemic-dynamic models à la Ludwig von Bertalanffy, capable of transcending the reductionism of mechanistic-linear models.

An individual, who, seeing an interconnected Cosmos in which everything is in a dialogic-recursive relationship, is moved by Wonder, by Intellectual Curiosity, by the search for Truth. A Truth that necessarily accompanies Virtue, honesty, and brotherly love. This, in the awareness of how the Whole is One and, therefore, the good of one impacts the good of the other and vice versa.

Consequently, academic and professional development, the expertise acquired, are understood only and exclusively within the aforementioned unity. Furthermore, within the integrated vision that, from a medium-high level of logical abstraction onward, demonstrates how everything is similar. This transcends appearances, boundaries and differentiations.

From the above, you may wonder: who might be interested in this author’s work? The answer lies in someone who, like Karl Popper, is capable of stating: “There are no disciplines or branches of knowledge, or rather, of investigation: there are only problems and the need to solve them“.

I conclude this brief presentation by outlining the background, cultural and intellectual environment, in which the habitus a là Pierre Bourdieu was formed, which, from time to time, is expressed in professional and/or pro bono activities. Activities, the latter, described in a dedicated page.
