Editorial Work
Book series, journals, and outreach
Over the years, editorial work has become an important part of my academic activity. I particularly value its collaborative dimension and the opportunities it offers to engage with research beyond my own, support the work of colleagues, and contribute to the development of intellectual communities. These are especially precious in an academic world where hyper-individualism risks undermining the very meaning of academia. The initiatives presented here, ranging from academic journals and book series to public-facing magazines, reflect my commitment to fostering scholarly dialogue and exchange while exploring different ways of making philosophical research accessible to wider audiences.
Book Series
Global Perspectives on the History of Natural Philosophy | 2022-present
Book series, Routledge. Editors: Yael Kedar, Cecilia Panti, and Nicola Polloni. Find out more
Fostering a new approach to the study of the history of natural philosophy this series aims to expand the discussion on natural philosophy cross-culturally and comparatively by focusing on the philosophical reasoning about nature developed particularly, but not exclusively, in three main cultural settings: Europe, the Middle East, and China. One of the main focal points of Global Perspectives on the History of Natural Philosophy is the interplay between philosophical and scientific concepts, stances, and problems arising from the premodern consideration of nature, broadly considered. Accordingly, the series provides a cutting-edge framework in which natural philosophy can be considered from new philosophically meaningful angles. Acknowledging the historical interweaving of philosophy and science of nature, the series publishes monographs and edited volumes dealing with the history of natural philosophy from three methodological perspectives: philosophical analysis, historical reconstruction, and comparative studies.
Piccola Biblioteca di Filosofia Naturale | 2024-present
Book series, Il Melangolo. Editors: Vincenzo Carlotta, Cecilia Panti, and Nicola Polloni.
La Piccola biblioteca di filosofia naturale è una collana di testi storici centrati sullo studio del mondo naturale, proposti per la prima volta al pubblico italiano in traduzione. Questa raccolta si fonda sull’ambizione di abbracciare la molteplicità delle prospettive attraverso cui la riflessione umana ha esplorato il tema della natura, offrendo un’ampia panoramica delle tradizioni filosofiche, scientifiche e letterarie, sia occidentali che orientali, privilegiando il periodo compreso tra l’antichità classica e il diciassettesimo secolo. L’obiettivo della collana è duplice. Da un lato, la Piccola biblioteca mira a far scoprire e apprezzare nella nostra lingua testi che hanno rappresentato momenti fondamentali della “filosofia della natura”. Dall’altro, la collana vuole portare all’attenzione dei lettori scritti oggi dimenticati e che tuttavia meritano di essere riscoperti insieme alle idee che essi propongono. In questa prospettiva, la Piccola biblioteca di filosofia naturale offre traduzioni accurate e accessibili di brevi opere e antologie tematiche su specifici aspetti della riflessione sulla natura.
Public Engagement
The Black Cow: Global History of Philosophy in Conversation | 2026-present
Quarterly outreach magazine.
The Black Cow is an international open-access magazine dedicated to the global history of philosophy as a field of exchange, transmission, and encounter. With a special focus on premodern thought, it brings together scholarly research, public-facing writing, and methodological reflection in order to trace how philosophical traditions have developed through contact rather than isolation. The project seeks to widen the public presence of the history of philosophy, encourage dialogue across intellectual cultures, and create a space in which rigorous scholarship can speak clearly to broader contemporary concerns.
