The historian Carlo Ginzburg died last night. He was a historian, but in practice his reflections almost inevitably crossed over epistemology as well. That is, when scholars begin to reflect on the methods and meanings of their own research. /1

PIPoLS è un’iniziativa bottom-up e a leadership diffusa, che risponde a una frammentazione nell’attuale panorama della ricerca e dell’insegnamento della filosofia delle scienze della vita nel contesto accademico italiano.
