Professor Lodovico Galleni
Professor Lodovico Galleni is Professor of General Zoology and of Environmental Ethics, University of Pisa, and of Science and Theologym, Istituto Superiore di Scienze Religiose "N. Stenone" Pisa. He took his degree in natural science in Pisa in 1970. As a zoologist his main research field was chromosomal evolution in animals and the connections between karyotype rearrangements with speciation. At present his overall theoretical interests are devoted to the general problems of theories of evolution in order to explore the possibility of a Biospherocentric theory, a theory which takes into consideration the Biosphere as a whole evolving object. For these reasons he started a research project on the scientific papers of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a forerunner of this theory. He is also looking for the different implications of this theory with the Science and Theology relationships and with environmental ethics. Professor Galleni is a member of the Council of the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology (ESSSAT), of the European Advisory Board of the Center of Theology and Natural Sciences of Berkeley (California) Science and Religion Course Program and he is co-ordinator of the section of Biology of the International Research Area on Foundations of Sciences (IRAFS) of the Pontifical University of Lateran). He was, in the academic year 1998/99, visiting professor at the Catholic University of Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.
