She deals with social ontology, philosophy of the person and empathy. Her research perspective is phenomenological: the qualitative saliences characterizing the personal and social experience of the lifeworld, the complicated relationship between people’s identities (their flourishing or shrinking) and the various forms of social wholes of which they may be a part; the phenomenology of personal gender identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is the author of numerous essays in Italian, English, and French published in international scientific journals, class A and indexed by Scopus, and in volumes by Springer, Brill, and Routledge. She has published the following books: La libert\u00e0 incarnata<\/em> (Milan, Bruno Mondadori 2008: starting from Jeanne Hersch’s philosophy of existence, she presents an ontology of the person and a theory of the personological and axiological foundations of human rights); Eidetica del diritto e ontologia sociale<\/em> (Milan, Mimesis 2012: she analyses the eidetic foundation of Adolf Reinach’s phenomenological social ontology and work on the material a priori of law, social acts and social entities); La societ\u00e0 in persona<\/em> (Bologna, Il Mulino 2022: she applies the ontology of the person to social ontology and develop a phenomenologically oriented qualitative social ontology that draws on Husserl’s theory of wholes and parts and Scheler’s axiology to account for the social world as a lifeworld in which people are part of social wholes of various kinds). She has devoted many works to the phenomenology of Edith Stein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Co-editor in Chief di Phenomenology and Mind: https:\/\/www.rosenbergesellier.it\/ita\/riviste\/phenomenology-and-mind<\/a>
