Andrea Falcon, PhD

Education

Ph.D: Padua University, Italy 1995
Undergraduate Studies: University of Venice, Italy, laurea cum laude 1990.I have been Professor Emeritus since January 2022. I am a recurring visiting Professor at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Germany, where I collaborate with TIDA (Text and Ideas of Aristotle's De anima). I am also lecturing at the University of Milan, Italy,

The primary foci of my research are two. The first is Aristotle, with a special focus on his theory and practice of scientific explanation. The second is the reception and fortune of his philosophical thought in antiquity and beyond. Below are my most significant publications to date.
