Silvana Procacci, Ph.D., is professor’s assistant of the philosophy of history at the University of Perugia (Italy), and she has been associate professor at the Theological Institute of Assisi (ITA) where she took courses concerning the relationship between science and theology. She was a member of the European Advisory Board of the Center of Theology and Natural Sciences of Berkeley (California) and now is co-chair of the Etruscan Local Group, an LSI of the Metanexus Institute. In 1994 she received her degree with full marks and honours in philosophy, presenting a thesis about the anthropic principle. Her Ph.D. thesis concerned the holism-reductionism debate around three areas of semantics: ontology, methodology and epistemology. She is currently working in the philosophical aspects of the evolution of the Universe and its connection with life and cosmic organization. The aim is to analyze some philosophical-scientific problems to make a connection between complexity, consciousness, and the evolutionary laws of the Universe. She has published many articles and five books.
