Biography
Massimo Durante is Professor in Philosophy of Law and Legal Informatics at the Department of Law, University of Turin, Italy. He is coordinator of the Turin Unit of Research for the Law, Science and Technology Joint Doctorate: Rights of the Internet of Everything. His current research concerns issues of law and technology and digital governance from a legal, ethical, and epistemological perspective.
"That contemporary social theory and modern European philosophy would turn back to consider its origins in the contradictions of technics and pervasive technology was perhaps predictable; but little could have prepared us for Durante’s remarkable confrontation with the entire philosophical and ontological sweep of the digital revolution."
- Professor Anthony Elliott, University of South Australia
