Academic Political Philosopher

I am a political theorist and Assistant Professor at Università del Piemonte Orientale. My research engages with the realist tradition in political thought, spanning from classical figures like Thucydides, Machiavelli, Hobbes, and Weber to its modern resurgence through Bernard Williams and Raymond Geuss. I focus on the normative dimensions of political realism—examining how it can sustain forms of critique and judgment without relying on moral universals, and what standards of legitimacy and accountability remain viable within a realist framework.
