Michele Mangione

I was born in Corato (BA), Puglia, Italy on June 25th, 2004. I’m a very avid reader and passionate about philosophy, literature and poetry from all around the world. My interests range widely in many philosophical fields and through the whole history of philosophy, from ancient to contemporary. My main field of expertise is the concept of Nothingness and pre-rational thinking, with a focus on greek thought, from the early thinkers to Plotinus, Daoism, passing through some important figures of the mystical and theological tradition (like Psuedo-Dionysius, Meister Eckhart and Nicholas of Cusa) and also of the Zen buddhism, up to 20th century thinkers, like the philosophers of the Kyoto School and Heidegger. Other thinkers I’m very invested in are Aristotle, Avicenna, Averroes, Descartes, Pascal, Hume, Spinoza, Kant and Suzuki. I’m currently majoring in philosophy at Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro. I’m also very passionate about music, in particular hip hop and jazz. I enjoy learning and discussing any subject or discipline, no matter my level of knowledge.
