Hi! My name is Davide, and I am a philosopher.

My work spans across Chinese philosophy, the philosophy of action, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of religion. Lately, I’ve been developing a view inspired by the Zhuangzi 莊子 on which reality, while having an objective structure, does not by itself settle what things and kinds there are: settling that requires a constructive role on our part that is played by our perspectives. I use this view to rethink creativity, agency, and the relation between mind and world. I also do research on religion. Recently, I have been interested in using theoretical tools from the analytic philosophy of religion and the cognitive science of religion to uncover similarities that religious traditions share beneath their differences.
