Bruno Poli

I am currently a PhD student under the supervision of Guillaume Fréchette and Fabrice Teroni. My dissertation examines valence both as a general property of affective phenomena and, more specifically, as a feature of sensory pleasure and sensory pain. In developing this project, I draw on resources from contemporary analytic philosophy as well as from the Austro-German tradition, especially Brentano’s school and early phenomenology.

My main areas of interest are the philosophy of emotions, sensory pleasure and pain, valence and phenomenology
