Andrea Strazzoni

Andrea Strazzoni, Ph.D. (Erasmus University Rotterdam, 2015), is a researcher and a lecturer in the history of science and technology at the University of Turin and Marie-Curie alumnus at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. He has held research positions in Germany and Switzerland and published monographs in the history of philosophy and science such as Dutch Cartesianism and the Birth of Philosophy of Science (De Gruyter, 2018), Burchard de Volder and the Age of the Scientific Revolution (Springer, 2019), and The Quarrel over Swammerdam’s Posthumous Works (Brill, 2023). He has in particular explored the history and mutual relations of early modern philosophy and (experimental) science, the dissemination of Cartesian manuscript sources (in particular, handwritten commentaries on Descartes’s works), the uses of Descartes’s ideas in medicine, and the emergence of philosophical hermeneutics and philosophy of language in the seventeenth century. He is now pursuing research on the relations between science and technology in early modern and modern northwestern Italy.
