We are glad to give notice of Understanding Natural Histories, an interdisciplinary PRIN research project spanning philosophy of biology, critical theory, social and political philosophy, coordinated by Luca Corti (University of Padua), Mario Farina (IUAV University of Venice), and Vera Tripodi (Polytechnic University of Turin).
We are also pleased to present the official UNH website.

In recent years, there has been a notable resurgence in studies labeled as “natural histories,” indicating a growing interest in using this approach to address fundamental questions about human constitution. Yet, what are natural histories in the 21st century? To what extent is the past intelligible through natural histories? Why fusing the concepts of nature and history into a single framework? What are the philosophical implications of this synthesis?
UNH is an interdisciplinary research initiative spanning philosophy of biology, critical theory, social and political philosophy. Our goal is to investigate and establish a comprehensive philosophical framework for unraveling the nature and scope of natural histories. We approach this goal through three distinct perspectives: evolutionary, critical, and normative.
