Daniele Fulvi

Daniele Fulvi is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Humanities and Communication Arts, WSU node of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology. He specialises in modern and contemporary continental philosophy, moral philosophy, environmental ethics and humanities, and ethics of new technologies. His current research focuses on the ethical and social dimensions of synthetic biology applied to environmental issues – and in particular to climate change mitigation. He also leads the project “Reassessing Risk in Decision-Making on Engineering Biology”, in collaboration with the Advanced Engineering Biology Future Science Platform at CSIRO. This project aims at exploring how the urgency of effective climate mitigation practices informs expert understanding of risk and responsibility.

Daniele obtained his PhD from the School of Humanities and Communication Arts at Western Sydney University in 2020, with a dissertation investigating the question of evil and nature in the philosophies of German idealist F.W.J. Schelling and Italian existentialist Luigi Pareyson. After completing his PhD, Daniele was awarded the 2020 Dean’s Prize for the Best PhD. After his PhD, Daniele developed an extensive teaching and research experience in ethics and philosophy. He also strengthened his research expertise in environmental ethics through the award of various grants, including a research collaboration grant with CSIRO and a RIF “Capacity” Research Grant at WSU’s School of Humanities and Communication Arts. His first monograph, titled Schelling, Freedom, and the Immanent Made Transcendent. From Philosophy of Nature to Environmental Ethics, is published in the Routledge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Philosophy series. Moreover, his works appear in journals such as NanoEthics, The Anthropocene Review, Ethics, Policy & Environment, Sophia, The Southern Journal of Philosophy, and Critical Horizons, among others.

Daniele has studied and worked at various universities internationally, including the University of Turin in Italy and the Albert-Ludwigs University of Freiburg in Germany. In 2023, he was a Visiting Fellowship at the Department of Philosophy, Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele in Milan (Italy) – where he collaborated with the Centre for Studies in Ethics and Politics (CeSEP). He is currently Book Review Editor for Environmental Philosophy, and Associate Editor of the Encyclopedia of the Anthropocene – Pluriversal Perspectives (ed. by N. Wallenhorst and C. Wulf, and forthcoming for Springer Nature).
