Known for his interdisciplinary approach, philosopher and author Emanuele Coccia (1976, Italy) explores the relationships between humans, nature, and the cosmos, often challenging traditional distinctions between living and non-living entities. His writing, deeply influenced by fields like biology and anthropology, engages with themes of life, plants, and the environment, emphasizing a vision of existence where all forms of life are interconnected. His philosophical practice is marked by a poetic, accessible style that resonates with both academic and broader audiences. His work has been featured in major academic and cultural discussions, making him a key voice in contemporary philosophy and ecological thought.
SPUI25 is the academic-cultural podium of Amsterdam. Since 2007, we have been giving scientists, authors, artists and other thinkers the opportunity to shine a light on issues that occupy, inspire or concern them. In cooperation with a large number of academic and cultural partners, we organize between 250 and 300 freely accessible programs per year. These are enriching, often interdisciplinary programs that move between science and culture, fact and fiction.
SPUI25 is one of the UvA podia in the University Quarter.
