Irene Quiliconi

I’ve obtained my master’s degree in philosophy at the University of Pisa, with a thesis on Socrates and the figure of the two-in-one in Hannah Arendt’s work. I’ve obtained a degree in Bioethics with a Postgraduate Course at the University of Padova (academic year 2023-2024), where I’ve discussed my essay on the importance of the matter of abitability within palliative care pathways. I’m currently a Ph.D student in Philosophy in the Joint PhD between the University of Ferrara and PUCPR. My doctoral project is focused on tracing the ethical implications of Arendt’s conception of thinking as developed in The Life of the Mind. I’m a staff member of FTF|Lab (Laboratory of Transcendental Philosophy and Phenomenology), and member of the Philosophical Association Persona al Centro.
