Carlo Chiurco is associate professor of ethics at the university of Verona. A hardline Nietzschean enamoured of Venetian painting, cats, libertine books, Louis XIV, opera and good-looking bearded guys (not necessarily in this order), his research presently focuses on the late Nietzsche’s attempt to solve the problem of the rise and fall of civilizations, and issues of philosophy of medicine, such as the definition of health and illness. In the end, the two topics are quite related: because there is always a good deal of method in madness, you see.
