My research interests include evidence, epistemology, pragmatism, argumentation theory, philosophy of law, and economic analysis of law.
Over the last years I’ve been working on legal argumentation theory, especially with Damiano Canale. Hopefully, we will publish an English book with our major contributions to that.
Presently I’m working on a project I call “The Reasoned Proof”. The basic idea is to look at evidence and proof (in law) as a matter of inference and argument-building, to provide reasons for a factual standpoint. I’ve published several pieces on this, and I plan to collect them in a book.
In the next future I will also continue my work on the philosophical foundations of the economic analysis of law.
