In memoriam Maurizio Migliori (1943-2023)

Maurizio Migliori, was born in 1943 and graduated from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan with Giovanni Reale. He taught History of Ancient Philosophy, first as an associate Professor from 1991 to 2000 and then as a full professor from 2000 to 2015 at the University of Macerata, where he animated a highly participative teaching activity and research activity focused especially on Plato and Aristotle, which generated a remarkable flowering of qualified studies. He himself was an influential member of the International Plato Society and vice-president of the Italian Society for the History of Philosophy. Among his numerous publications, we would like to mention the seminal work entitled Il disordine ordinato. La filosofia dialettica di Platone (Plato’s Dialectical Philosophy), Morcelliana, Brescia 2013, divided into two volumes: Dialectics, Metaphysics and Cosmology and From the Soul to Ethical and Political Praxis. Valuable, among other things, is his editing of the dialogue Filebo (Giunti/Bompiani 2018), translated, introduced, accompanied by a rich apparatus of notes and key words as well as an exhaustive bibliography: an exemplary model of scholarly rigour. His cultural dissemination activities have always been sustained, particularly in the Como area. Also worthy of note is his collaboration with the journal ‘Humanitas’. Our Society honors his passionate search for the truth and his sense of amicitia.
