Dr. Leonardo Chiocchetti, M.A.

Personal information

Leonardo Chiocchetti is a Research Associate at the Chair for Ancient Philosophy and Rhetoric (Prof. Dr. Christof Rapp) and the Munich School of Ancient Philosophy (MUSAΦ) at LMU Munich. He received his PhD in Philosophy from LMU in 2024 and his MA in Philosophy from Roma Tre University in Rome in 2019.

Research interests

Leonardo Chiocchetti's research focuses on Hellenistic metaphysics, semantics, and logic, with particular attention to the Stoics, the Peripatetics, and the ancient grammatical tradition. He is especially interested in the two-way relationship between linguistic and metaphysical theory: how metaphysical commitments shape linguistic categories and explanatory frameworks, and how, conversely, linguistic analysis can constrain and inform metaphysical claims.
