My name is Davide Andrea Zappulli, and I am a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. At UBC, I work under the guidance of the three members of my committee: Prof. Catherine Prueitt, Prof. Edward Slingerland, and Prof. Evan Thompson. I am mainly interested in questions at the intersection of the philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and the philosophy of religion, and I work in all these areas with a cross-cultural approach, engaging with the work of both Western and Eastern philosophers. In my research, I explore different religious-philosophical traditions in order to develop metaphysical models of ultimate reality and of its relation to the cosmos and the human mind. I believe that this kind of research can be important in helping us understanding the nature of consciousness and its status in reality, as well as in fostering old and new forms of spirituality or religiosity.
