Angelica Nuzzo (born 1964) is a professor of philosophy at Brooklyn College and Graduate Center of City University of New York (CUNY). [1] [2] Nuzzo was the president of Hegel Society of America from 2014 to 2016. [3]
Nuzzo received her first PhD in philosophy from Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa and her second PhD from Heidelberg University. She completed her postdoctoral studies in philosophy at the Scuola Normale Superiore. Before joining CUNY Nuzzo was an assistant professor at DePaul University,Ricercatore at the University of L'Aquila and assistant visiting professor at the Heidelberg University. [4] In 2004 she was the receiver of Research Fellowship Programme from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. [5]
Her book Approaching Hegel’s Logic,Obliquely:Melville,Molière,Beckett,was the winner of the hegelpd-prize in 2020 [6] and was subject of a book symposium by Verifiche in 2022. [7] In the book Nuzzo circumvents contemporary debates in Hegel scholarship,namely the metaphysical,epistemological or ontological intake of Hegel's Logic. Instead Nuzzo looks at the work through an oblique lens,for example in the first part of the book she argues for the affinity between the Logic and Aristotle's account of "poetic action" in the Poetics (7,1450b).
