  • Claudio César Calabrese

    Claudio César Calabrese

    With a career spanning nearly forty years as a university professor, he has pursued his academic work at the intersection of literature and philosophy. Early in his career, he solidified his training in classical languages, serving for ten years as a professor of Latin and philology at his alma mater, the National University of Mar del Plata. This experience led him to delve deeper into the study of philosophy, focusing his research on Late Antiquity, with special attention to the figure of St. Augustine.

    In recent years, returning to the core theme of his career, he has once again explored the dialogue between literature and philosophy from the perspective of myth criticism, with the aim of opening up new avenues of interpretation in the relationship between myth and logos.
