Giuseppe Spolaore
Senior Member
Giuseppe (Beppe) Spolaore is associate professor of philosophy of language at the university of Padua. Beppe loves philosophical puzzles. The philosophy of time is an endless source of puzzlement. Unsurprisingly, then, Beppe also loves the philosophy of time, albeit in a somewhat derivative way. His main interests within this area are the branching conception of time, the topology and mereology of time, the experience and phenomenology of time, the semantics of tense, the connection between fiction, imagination, and time.
