Research interests
Tommaso W. Bertolotti has been a professional academic for more than seven years before moving his career to philosophical consulting.
His main research interests have always concerned applied topics, as he sternly believed in the importance of the philosophical stance in the most urgent societal issues but also in everyday, profoundly human matter.
