Carlo Sini

Carlo Sini (Bologna, 6 December 1933) is an Italian philosopher and one of the leading figures in contemporary Italian philosophy, mainly known for his studies about language and hermeneutics, following the work of Charles Sanders Peirce.

Biography Carlo Sini studied at University of Milan with Enzo Paci. In 1976 he became professor of Theoretical Philosophy at University of Milan.

He is member of Accademia dei Lincei from 1994 and of the Institut International de Philosophie.

He has been a member of the national directive of the Italian Philosophical Society.

Thought Sini's thought proposes an interpretation of the work of Charles Sanders Peirce that converges towards the thought of Heidegger and phenomenology.

He has consequently developed a so-called "thought of practices" as a way to "recognize the errance of every image of truth": The thought of practices reminds us that everyone actually puts the knowledge they have into practice, scientific and non-scientific, based on their belonging to the world (to their world), as everyone is a movable origin and limit. The knowledge of praxis, of common, everyday operations, thus constitutes that life of truth.
