Biography

Professor Casati joined the department in the Fall of 2018. His area of specialization is Martin Heidegger, with passionate interests in Meinong, Wittgenstein and Deleuze.  He also dabbles occassionally in formal logic with a particular taste for Paraconsistent logics.  Prior to joining the Lehigh department, he was a Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences postdoctoral research fellow at Kyoto University, Japan. 

He graduated from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, with a PhD under the supervision of Distinguished Professor Graham Priest in 2017; as well as having completed Tertiray studies at the University of Warwick, the London School of Economics and Universita' Vita-Salute San Raffaele, Milan.  He has published in such venues as The British Journal for the History of Philosophy, Synthese, Logic et Analyse and Philosophy Compass.  He has also edited a special issue of the Australasian Journal of Logic on Richard Routley/Sylvan, as well as co-editing the volume Exploring Meinong's Jungle and Beyond. He is a recipient of a prestigious research grant from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Germany.
