Pietro Daniel Omodeo is a cultural historian of science and a professor of historical epistemology at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy. His research focuses on science, philosophy, and literature in early modernity, as well as on historical epistemology. He has been working on the ontological and epistemological premises of medieval and early modern natural philosophy and science up to the rise of mechanic visions of the world. Moreover, he has been investigating the history of cosmology and physics, in particular, post-Copernican astronomy, mechanics, and physico-mathematics. His inquiry into the history of science expands on the wide cultural interconnections of early scientific debates as well as on their socio-institutional embedment. His work on historical epistemology focuses on political epistemology along Gramscian lines of investigation. It comprises a critical assessment of the agendas underlying the historiography of science. His publications include Copernicus in the Cultural Debates of the Renaissance: Reception, Legacy, Transformation (2014), and Political Epistemology: The Problem of Ideology in Science Studies (2019).
