About the editors
Chiara Russo Krauss is associate professor of History of Philosophy at the University of Naples "Federico II". She began her career studying Richard Avenarius' empirio-criticism. Thereafter, her research focused on the philosophical debate on the development of scientific psychology (Wundt, Avenarius and Scientific Psychology, Palgrave McMillan, 2019) and, more generally, on the epistemological problems related to the advances of science in the late XIX century and early XX century, especially in the milieu of late positivism, such as Ernst Mach, Richard Avenarius and Joseph Petzoldt (The Philosophy of Joseph Petzoldt, Bloomsbury, 2023). Her most recent research concerns the neo-Kantianism of Friedrich Albert Lange.
Laino is Research Fellow for Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Naples "Federico II" and an Adjunct Professor for Theoretical Philosophy at Università degli Studi della Basilicata, where he holds the chair of “Theories of Mind-Body Relations”. He was a Teaching Assistant for Philosophy of Science at the University of Naples Federico II for several years (from 2013 to 2019). He has published papers on important journals such as “Foundations of Physics” (Is Knowledge of Physical Reality Still Kantian? Some Remarks About the Transcendental Character of Loop Quantum Gravity).
