Daniela Brigatti is a writer and Philosophy student at the University of Chicago. She writes short fiction and philosophical essays on topics including Ethics, Metaphysics, Epistemology, Aesthetics, Philosophy of Mind, and Philosophy of Science. Her interpretive writing focuses mainly on Ancient Philosophy and German Idealism. As a trilingual first-generation American, Dani has always been most fascinated by the categories and concepts we use to construct our identities and realities. After beginning to write short fiction as a teenager in order to explore her deepest questions, her insatiable curiosity led her to pursue an undergraduate degree in Philosophy at the University of Chicago where she discovered a passion for philosophical writing and interpretive work. While in her second year, she founded Firebird Magazine, UChicago’s first and only student-run music magazine. For two years, Dani wrote music criticism and served as Editor-in-Chief for Firebird. She is now a Chicago-based writer and thinker pursuing a Masters Degree in the Humanities at the University of Chicago where she currently works as a staff writer for the UChicago Philosophy Review.
