Preface

This volume is a tribute to Evandro Agazzi and his work by Italian and international scholars, former direct or indirect pupils, friends, colleagues or associates who esteem him and are grateful to him for long years of discussions, advice and fruitful philosophical exchanges. These essays were first presented at the international congress “Science Between Truth and Ethical Responsibility. Evandro Agazzi in the Contemporary Philosophical and Scientific Debate”, held in Cesena and Urbino (Italy) from 22 to 24 April 2014. That congress, like this volume, intended to celebrate his 50 years of academic activity, by offering a systematic study and critical discussion of his many and often pioneering contributions to a wide spectrum of philosophical issues. Agazzi constitutes an extraordinary example of rigorous and original thought, successful professional leadership and organizing capacities at the international level
