Gianluca Longa

About

I am a researcher in philosophy and the history of mathematics, with a focus on the conceptual foundations of mathematical reasoning. My work particularly concerns:

  • Ancient Greek geometry and the role of diagrams in mathematical thought
  • The heuristic and explanatory functions of analysis in ancient and early modern mathematics
  • Epistemological questions concerning certainty and method in seventeenth-century science

I earned my PhD in Philosophy from Université Clermont Auvergne in 2024, under the supervision of Sébastien Gandon and Marco Panza.
I am qualified as Maître de conférences (Associate Professor) in CNU sections 17 (Philosophy) and 72 (Epistemology and History of Science).
