Nicola Spinelli
I am a full-time PhD student at the University of Warwick, with a Warwick Postgraduate Research Scholarship. My research is currently focused on the logico-metaphysical relations between essence and modality in Husserl, on his static and genetic phenomenological accounts of them, and on a possible Husserlian contribution to the current debate on the epistemology of modality. I am working under the supervision of Dr. C. Hoerl
and Prof. A.D. Smith
.

.
.In May 2011 I obtained my Master degree in Philosophical Sciences at the University of Milan (110/110 cum laude), with a thesis on the theory of wholes and parts in the the early stages of Husserl's thought (1887-1901). I was supervised by Prof. S. Bozzi

Apart from philosophy, I have a genuine passion for martial arts and combat sports, and have practised many for many years. I am focusing on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at present. I have studied music for many years, too. Other relevant passions are trekking, cooking and football supporting (A.S. Varese 1910).
