Luigi Emilio Pischedda obtained his PhD from Ca' Foscari University in Venice and Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, with a thesis in modern political philosophy entitled Tra terra e mare. Spazio, territorio e diritto nel pensiero di Spionza. His research interests lie mainly between philosophy of law and modern political philosophy, with a focus on the methodological aspects of conceptual history and political metaphorics. In addition to his work on Spinoza, during his doctorate, Pischedda also studied 17th-century Dutch political thought (Grotius, Cunaeus) and Jewish political thought. He collaborated with the Centre for Renaissance and Early Modern Thought (Ca' Foscari University), organising seminars, book presentations and lectures. He also animated the doctoral seminar on Spinoza at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, entitled Amici colende. He has been a member of the Societas Spinozana since 2017 and a member of its scientific committee since 2020. He is currently Research Fellow at the University of Bologna and at the EHESS (LIER-FYT).
