# Franco Volpi

> Franco Volpi, was a philosopher, historian of philosophy and a professor at Padua University, who wrote regularly to the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. Volpi was an expert in German philosophy, in particular Martin Heidegger and Arthur Schopenhauer. He investigated the relationship between nihilism and the nothing, and between philosophy and current psychology. In one of his works, he wrote that "real philosophical questions have a history but have no answer". For him, nihilism undermines truth, weakens religion and dissolves dogmatism.
