Along with Paolo Stellino, I have submitted volume for the Cambridge Element series on The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. The volume is devoted to Nietzsche's Good European and should be published in 2026.

Since January 2022, I have been PI of a two-years FCT-funded research project devoted to the philosopher of science Mary B. Hesse. The project, hosted by IFILNOVA, dealt with the post-empiricist view of scientific knowledge that Hesse outlined, and with her "new epistemology". We aimed to put her reflections on the metaphorical value of scientific language in dialogue with contemporary conceptions which recently revitalized notions such as "perspectivism" and "fictionalism" within the history and philosophy of science debate.

In October 2024 has been published a volume with selected papers among the most representative of Hesse's post-empiricist view, translated into Portuguese. The volume is available in open access here.

Another outcome of the research project is the volume on Mary Hesse that has been published in August 2025, in the Springer series "Women in the History of Philosophy and Sciences".

Along with Carlo Chiurco (University of Verona), I am currently working on a collective volume on Dune's Cinematic Universe, which is aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of how Frank Herbert’s visionary work has been mediated through cinema and how these interpretations contribute to the ongoing dialogue between literature, philosophy, and film.

The volume is expected to be published in December 2026 in two versions: one in Italian (Mimesis) and one in English (Mimesis International).

Together with Lorenzo Serini, in october 2023 I have published the collective volume Practices of Truth in Philosophy: Historical and Comparative Perspectives (Routledge), The book provides a geographically and historically diverse overview of philosophical approaches that establish a deep connection between truth and practice, or even see truth itself as a kind of practice.

Together with María de Paz, I have recently edited a special issue of the Journal for General Philosophy of Science, devoted to "Classic Methodologies in the Philosophy of Science".

I have also edited an introduction to Friedrich Nietzsche that has been published in 2023, in open-access. will collect papers written by the members of the Lisbon Nietzsche Group. 

The essays collected in this volume explore Nietzsche’s philosophical journey, revealing the unitary articulation within which the various issues he tackled fit into the thematic context of an investigation on modern culture whose primary aim is to genealogically reconstruct the origin of moral evaluations, observe their anthropological effects on mankind, and show us the path for further developments.
