ABOUT

Presentation

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1986.

 

My current research is mainly aimed at the reception of Plato's political philosophy in Germany between 1914 and 1945 and Gadamer's early work (especially between 1924 and 1944).

 

My areas of interest are Ancient Political Philosophy, German Philosophy of the 20th Century, Philosophical Hermeneutics, Humanism, Aesthetics, and Reception of the Classics. 

Education

I obtained my Ph.D. in Philosophy (UNSAM) in April 2020. My dissertation, entitled The utopic play: The reception of the Platonic political philosophy in Hans-Georg Gadamer’s work, was aimed at understanding, on the one hand, the structuring role of Plato’s philosophy in Gadamer's own thought as well as, on the other hand, its relevance in the political dimension of Gadamer’s philosophy. I intended to break with the most conventional readings of Gadamer, which, in my eyes, had reduced the importance of his interpretation of Plato (entrenched between 1922 and 1942 and developed at least until 1983) in order to give priority to the work that followed his best-known work, Wahrheit und Methode.

Employment & Visiting Positions

Since 2022, I have been an Assistant Researcher at CONICET. From 2016 to 2023, I taught political science at the Universidad del Salvador, in Buenos Aires (Full Professor from 2020 onwards).

 

Between 2017 and 2026, I held visiting research positions in different European universities, with the aim to advance my doctoral and postdoctoral philosophical research: Universität zu Köln (DAAD Global Network, 2017), Sapienza Universitá di Roma (MAECI Scholarship, 2019), Université Paris-Nanterre (2020), Georg-August Universität Göttingen (DAAD Research Stays for University Academics and Scientists, 2021), Università Ca'​ Foscari Venezia (2021), El Colegio de México (2025) and the Centre Georg Simmel - EHESS (2025-2026).

Recently, I published my first sole-author book: Permanecer junto a los griegos. Ética, dialéctica y política en la filosofía temprana de Hans-Georg Gadamer (UNSAM Edita, 2026). Click here to read it for free.
