Mario Alai is associate professor of Epistemology and Philosophy of Language at the University of Urbino. After graduating from the universities of Bologna, Urbino and Helsinki, he earned a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland and one from the University of Florence. His research concerns mainly scientific and metaphysical realism, but also the history of philosophy of science and philosophy of language in the analytic tradition, the nature of truth, knowledge and justification, the structure of scientific theories, scientific change, artificial intelligence in scientific discovery, the justification of induction, skepticism, the theories of meaning, experimental philosophy. He has published over one hundred papers in prominent Italian and international journals, edited nine volumes and written the books A Critique of Putnam’s Anti-realism, Modi di conoscere il mondo, La sfida scettica e come affrontarla, Filosofia analitica del linguaggio. 

Vincenzo Fano is a full professor of Logic and Philosophy of science at Urbino University, President of the Italian Society of Logic and Philosophy of Sciences, permanent member of the Academie Internationale de Philosophie des Sciences. His research projects concern above all history and philosophy of physics and psychology. Author of many books, his results were published among others in international journals as Synthese, Topoi, Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics, Foundation of Physics. 

Pierluigi Graziani is an Assistant Professor in Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of Urbino Carlo Bo, Italy. He completed his Master Degree in Philosophy at the University of Urbino (Italy) in 2001 and his Ph.D. in Logic and Epistemology at the University of Rome La Sapienza in 2007. In 2010 he held a three years Postdoctoral position in the History of Mathematics, Logic, and Philosophy of Science at the University of Urbino. From July 2014 to August 2017, he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of Chieti-Pescara. From December 2018 to July 2021, he worked at the University of Urbino as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Logic and Philosophy of Science. The main results of his research are on the foundation of geometry, logic and computer science, history/philosophy of mathematics, and social robotics. The main results of his research are published in international journals, books and conferences proceedings.

Flavia Marcacci earned her first Ph.D. at the Lateran University (Vatican State) and her second Ph.D. at the University of Urbino. She taught the History of Scientific Thought at Lateran University and served as a Visiting Professor at the University of Lille, France, as well as an Assistant Professor at the Notre Dame Rome Global Gateway (USA/Italy). She has been awarded the Italian National Scientific Qualification for Full Professor and Associate Professor of Logic, Philosophy, and History of Science, and has been bestowed with the Del Monte Medal for the History of Science by the International Center Urbino e la Prospettiva. Her research spans the history of science from the Greek and Hellenistic ages to the history of physics and astronomy before Isaac Newton. In the first area, she is working to clarify the birth of classic standards of logic by drawing on recent developments in formal logic. In the second field, building on her preceding research, she plans to study the intermediate geo-heliocentric systems and their epistemic consequences.

Gino Tarozzi, full professor of Logic and Philosophy of science at the Urbino University since 1994, is member of several scientific societies and presently vice president of the Académie Internationale de Philosophie des Sciences (AIPS). He has investigated both the foundations of quantum physics, suggesting probabilistic generalizations of Bell’s theorem and discussing some experimental tests of a proposed new realistic interpretation of the wave function, and the relationships between physics and epistemology, showing the achievement of a reformulation of the main metaphysical statements in the history of philosophy, like realism, causality, holism, nothing, and the mind-body problem, in terms of empirical meaningful philosophical principles, that can be suitably compared with our descriptions of the world provided by fundamental physical theories. The main results of his research are published in several international physical and philosophical journals, books and conferences proceedings.
