Biography

Filippo Scafi is a lecturer in philosophy and anthropology at GCAS. He teaches in the BA program and is the principal mentor in the MA philosophy program. He is an affiliated researcher at the School of Materialist Research.

His work engages the intersections of philosophy, anthropology, and psychoanalysis, with particular emphasis on epistemology, alterity, and the critique of representation. His dissertation focuses on the philosophical and epistemological limits of the Ontological Turn in anthropology, examining how concepts of Difference and alterity function as both pharmakon and impasse, and advancing François Laruelle’s non-philosophy as an alternative framework. Beyond his research, he has taught introductory philosophy courses at GCAS, with a focus on ancient Greek philosophy, truth and discourse, and the legacy of Socratic critique in relation to writing and democracy. His broader interests include media theory, critical theory, and the relationship between philosophy and lived experience.
