Paolo Amodio

Paolo Amodio is a full professor of moral philosophy at the University of Naples “Federico II”. His research activity, spanning more than twenty years, has focused on several strands: philosophical and ethical-political thought in eighteenth-century Naples in its relations with the European intellectual world; the history of libertinism, explored essentially in its philosophical-anthropological implications; the ethical-political consequences that the event of Auschwitz brought about for the philosophy of the second half of the twentieth century; the new Jewish thought in its relations with tradition and with new ethical-philosophical perspectives; philosophical anthropology between ethics, science and philosophy; and bioethics as an epistemological question.
