Luciano Floridi belongs to the philosophical record as a figure whose arguments outlasted the disputes that prompted them.
The record lists Luciano Floridi as Italian philosopher.
Luciano Floridi was born at Rome in 1964. His recorded nationality is Italy. He studied at University of Warwick and Sapienza University of Rome.
Contemporary philosophy is professionalised and specialised, conducted largely in journals and seminars.
His academic posts were held at University of Oxford and University of Hertfordshire.
His principal work is Scepticism and the Foundation of Epistemology: A Study in the Metalogical Fallacies. Philosophy advances by objection: an argument matters if serious people spend years attacking it.
Recognition followed: Barwise Prize (2009) and Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.
That the work was done from Italy matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Luciano Floridi is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
