Carlotta Capuccino

I graduated in Philosophy at the University of Bologna in 2004 with a thesis in the history of ancient philosophy (supervised by Walter Cavini) on Plato’s Ion.

In 2006 I was awarded admittance into the ‘Perfezionamento’ in philosophy at Pisa’s SNS, where I completed a trimester of research, as well as into the MPhil in Classics at the University of Cambridge and the Ph.D. at the University of Bologna, where I was awarded the title of Doctor in 2010 with a thesis on proems in Plato’s dialogues. In 2009, I spent a research period in Oxford, at New College and the Faculty of Philosophy.

From 2008 to 2011 I was Adjunct Professor of the History of Ancient Philosophy at the University of Ferrara, from 2012 to 2018 a post-doctoral scholar and from 2019 to 2022 a fixed term research fellow at the Department of Philosophy and Communication Studies (University of Bologna). Since the 3^rd of September 2022 I am Associate Professor at the same Department and, since the 1^st of January 2023, at the Department of the Arts. 

I am interested above all in the links in Plato between philosophy and paideia and between writing and philosophy, and the figure of Socrates as a dialogical character.
