Francesca Greco is a Researcher at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Hildesheim, affiliated with the Faculty of Cultural Studies and Aesthetic Communication. She is currently a PhD candidate working on her dissertation 'Nothing, Nothingness, Relationality: An Intercultural Reinterpretation of Negativity' under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Rolf Elberfeld and PD Dr. Katrin Wille. She serves as a research member in the DFG-funded Koselleck Project 'Histories of Philosophy in a Global Perspective' (2019-2024).
Her research explores intercultural philosophy with specializations in:
- Negativity and relational ontology/meontology
- Global histories of philosophy
- Japanese philosophy (Nishida Kitarō)
- 20th-century philosophy (Heidegger)
- Ancient philosophy (Plato's Sophist)
Her publications demonstrate consistent engagement with intercultural hermeneutics, particularly analyzing concepts of nothingness, relationality, and boundary logic across Japanese and Western traditions. Recent works explore decolonial approaches to philosophy historiography and epistemic justice.
Scientific recognitions include:
- Didrick Pining Fellowship (2023)
- DAAD Award (2022)
As a core member of the DFG Koselleck Project, she contributes to reconceptualizing philosophical historiography through global perspectives. She regularly presents at international conferences and collaborates on editorial projects like 'Transitions: Crossing Boundaries in Japanese Philosophy'.
