Biography
[edit]Emanuele Coccia was born with a twin brother, Matteo, who passed away in 2001.
He holds a PhD in medieval philosophy from the Università degli Studi di Firenze. Between 2008 and 2011, he taught at the University of Freiburg in Germany. He was a visiting professor at the University of Tokyo (Todai) in 2009, the University of Buenos Aires in 2010, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf in 2013 and again in 2015/2016, and taught at Columbia University's Italian Academy for Advanced Studies in New York.
His early research focused on the study of medieval philosophy. His first book dealt with the doctrine of the intellect in Latin Averroism. He later co-published an anthology on angels in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam with Giorgio Agamben, which demonstrated for the first time that angelology was an important source for reflection on power in Europe.
His research then shifted towards the theory of images and the nature of living beings. In 2010, he published La Vie sensible (Sensitive Life),[1] which was praised by Roger-Pol Droit in Le Monde as a "philosophical aerolith" that offers a "very unusual journey".
In 2016, he contributed to the collective work Adam, la nature humaine, avant et après. Épistémologie de la Chute under the direction of Irène Rosier-Catach and Gianluca Briguglia (Éditions de la Sorbonne).
In 2017, La Vie des plantes (The Life of Plants) received the Prize from the Monaco Philosophical Meetings and was translated into ten languages. The book was well received by the press.[2]
In 2019, Coccia served as the scientific advisor for the exhibition Nous les arbres (We, the Trees) at the Fondation Cartier for Contemporary Art.[3]
Coccia was an invited artist at Le Fresnoy, the National Studio of Contemporary Arts, during the 2020–2021 academic year.
From 2021 to 2022, Emanuele Coccia wrote a monthly column titled "Points de vie" in the French newspaper Libération.
