Fitxa persona

. My research career has been based at the University of Valencia -from 2001 to the present- complemented by various research placements at international institutions (Università di Torino, Università di Bologna, Université de Paris IV-Sorbonne, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Södertörns högskola, Georgetown University, University of Oxford, Boston College, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, etc.) and participation in numerous research projects. Throughout this period, my work has focused on several primary research strands, characterised by a complex approach to the study of practical rationality from an interdisciplinary and ethical perspective. This work has provided original theoretical and practical solutions within the framework of various related research projects. Within these often-interrelated lines of enquiry, the analysis of rhetoric as practical rationality has played a central role. The objective has been to establish an interpretative model for controversial phenomena capable of reclaiming the importance of debate in the generation of knowledge and conflict resolution. I initiated this work with my doctoral thesis, which focused on the confluence of ethics, rhetoric, and politics in Aristotelian practical philosophy. Subsequently, I have consolidated this line of research through further works deepening the study of Aristotle's thought and its connection to contemporary traditions, particularly philosophical hermeneutics. I have explored the revitalisation of rhetoric prompted by advances in cognitive sciences, reaching original conclusions in this field that assign a significant role to deliberation and argumentation. The aforementioned body of work has been structured around 14 R&D&I projects (as Principal Investigator or researcher). It is reflected in a co-authored monograph, several book chapters, and articles in indexed journals, as well as the presentation of results at national and international conferences. The study of applied ethics also holds a prevalent place in my career. In this field, I have analysed various issues regarding advances in neuroethics, neuropolitics, neuroeducation, and the ethics of technology. I have examined their implications for ethics and politics from an emerging field of enquiry -civic studies- which has led to a significant educational programme at the University of Valencia through various specialised courses and several teaching innovation projects. In parallel, I have focused my efforts on analysing the relevance of the Nietzschean critique of modernity. This perspective encompasses several works in which I have systematically studied Nietzsche's sources and the authors with whom he polemicised. This approach allows for a proper assessment of the originality of Nietzsche's theses in relation to the state of research in his time, as well as the reception of his political thought. Closely related to this line of enquiry, I have developed a pioneering area of research in Spain over recent years. Working within the framework of projects funded by the European Commission, the ANR, and the DFG, I have contributed to a new edition of Nietzsche's writings, leveraging the momentum of digital humanities and the possibilities offered by hypertextuality and genetic criticism. Part of this research was conducted during a placement at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, supported by an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation fellowship for experienced researchers..
