Ricerc@Sapienza

My research interests cover the history, epistemology and ethics of neurosciences (including biological psychiatry). I work on historical-philosophical aspects regarding psychiatric taxonomy, mechanistic and evolutionary models of mental illnesses, moral emotions, self-control, medical decision-making, psychopathy, delusions, neuroenhancement, history of ECT, and ethics of clinical AI. My approach is naturalistic. Methodologies include: bibliographic research, archival research, conceptual analysis, and experimental philosophy (questionnaires/interviews).
