Marialuisa Baldi is a full professor in the history of philosophy at the Università degli Studi di Milano, Department of Philosophy and President of the Philosophy and Philosophic sciences Degree Program. Her research focuses on the history of modern philosophy and is articulated on three lines of work: David Hume and Empiricism (sources and influences in the 18th century), the continuity of the Platonic tradition in the modern philosophy, the Renaissance and Girolamo Cardano. She is especially interested in epistemology, ethics and politics. She has published three monographs on the transmission of traditions in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. Her monograph on Andrew M. Ramsay was translated in French. She has been the editor of philosophic and scientific texts that have never been published before, including the manuscripts of the Accademia Virgiliana in Mantua (circa 1760), the De libris propriis (1550) and the dialogue Carcer (1570-1) both by G. Cardano. Baldi is co-director of a research program aimed at publishing and editing the works of Girolamo Cardano, and also co-editor of the series “Hyperchen. Testi e studi per la storia della cultura del Rinascimento" (Publisher: Leo S. Olschki, Florence).
