Spiritual Consciousness as Evolutionary Learning

Riccardo Campa is a philosopher in the etymological sense of the word — a “lover of wisdom.” He considers philosophy the mother of all sciences, rather than just one discipline among others. As a consequence, he views the various branches of knowledge as provinces of philosophy. One of the areas to which he has dedicated significant time and effort is sociology. This engagement earned him a position as a full professor of sociology at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. It is worth noting, however, that although he works in the sociology department, the two compulsory courses he teaches are Introduction to Philosophy for undergraduate students and Political Philosophy for graduate students, while his sociology courses are elective. In terms of research, he has written primarily in the field of science and technology studies, with a particular focus on transhumanism. Another province of knowledge that he has cultivated with particular persistence is the history of ideas, with a special focus on the history of philosophical, sociological, and theological concepts. In recent years, by delving into the history of theological ideas, he has increasingly ventured into the field of religious studies. He has made substantial contributions to the field, focusing on both ancient religions and new cults, and advocating for a syncretistic approach to spiritual life.
