Livia Profeti

Livia Profeti is a researcher in philosophy at the ERIAC laboratory (University of Rouen Normandy), associated with the lab since 2013. She holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Rome 'La Sapienza' (1999-2000), defending a thesis on instrumental rationality in Nazism through the lenses of Max Weber and Hannah Arendt. Her research focuses on modern and postmodern philosophy, critique of National Socialist thought, Heideggerian philosophy, and the philosophical implications of totalitarian ideologies. She has organized academic events, including the 2023 conference on 'The Theory of Human Birth' and the 2008 colloquium on gender and autonomy.

Profeti critiques Heidegger’s ontological foundations for their complicity with Nazi ideology, emphasizing his denial of universal equality. Her work bridges existential philosophy with contemporary political theory, addressing topics like bio-storicty, racial ontology, and the ethical dimensions of community. She has published widely in peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes, including critical analyses of Heidegger’s Black Notebooks and contributions to debates on postmodernism’s legacy.

Her teaching includes seminars on human identity at the University of Chieti-Pescara (2009-2010). She actively participates in public discourse through media interviews and radio/TV appearances, advocating for a renewed philosophical foundation for left-wing thought based on equality and progressive humanism.
