Ivan Catanzaro works mainly in philosophy, with a particular interest in epistemology, Nietzsche, nihilism. He received an MA from the Universität zu Köln and is now developing his own philosophical work around questions concerning rational belief, truth, and the ways in which thought is affected by practical and evaluative life.

Alongside philosophy, he writes poetry, mostly in Italian. His poems often begin from experiences of loss, desire, resistance, and bodily absence, seeking a spare form rather than a decorative one. Poetry remains for him a parallel practice: a way of giving shape to experiences that philosophical argument cannot fully contain.

È roseo Esser Eroso da Eros

Una poesia sul desiderio come forza naturale e sacra

È così bello il desiderio,
soprattutto quando esso è puro;

quando è genuino,
è fortissimo,

proclami:

così bello!
Così giusto!

È la natura
che potente chiama.

Ella sa sussurrare
a entrambi.

Ecco la via,
la via delle fiamme

caldissime d’amore,
ecco la via!

Prendi quella mano
nella passione!

Ecco la via,
sì!

Ecco la vita!

Dominio solo
del desiderio,

sul cui rosso alt
