Isabella Adinolfi

Isabella Adinolfi is an Associate Professor of Moral Philosophy (SSD: PHIL-03/A) at Ca' Foscari University of Venice's Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage. She serves as an effective internal member of the Disciplinary Board and represents her department in the Council of the Humanities Area Library (BAUM). Her office is located at Malcanton Marcorà.

Her research focuses on moral philosophy through interdisciplinary lenses, including:

• Existentialist interpretations of Simone Weil, Kierkegaard, and Pascal
• Ethico-religious dimensions in literature (Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, classical texts)
• Philosophy of emotions and symbolic thought
• Holocaust ethics and pacifist philosophy
• Intersections of religion, gender, and cross-cultural dialogue

Adinolfi's recent publications demonstrate consistent engagement with moral paradoxes in historical and contemporary contexts. Her 2020-2025 works predominantly analyze:

• Existential themes in Simone Weil's interpretations of classical texts
• Ethical dimensions of mortality in modern literature
• Religious philosophy across Christian and Islamic traditions
• War ethics and testimonial literature

This reflects her enduring focus on how philosophical frameworks address human suffering and transcendence.
