Since 2013, he has directed and coordinated the Laboratory of Philosophy and Theatre (Laboratorio di Filosofia e Teatro) at the University of “Tor Vergata” in Rome, in collaboration with Dr. F. Vona. With the Laboratory he has already staged several plays written by philosophers, with students/actors: Giordano Bruno, Il Candelaio (2013/2014); P. de Marivaux, L’Isola degli schiavi and Denis Diderot, È buono? È malvagio? (2015-2016); Albert Camus, The Demons (from Dostoevsky, 2017-2018); Georg Büchner, The Death of Danton (2022), in the adaptation entitled The Death of Utopia.

Prof. Quintili deals with the history of scientific ideas and of Philosophy in the Modern Age, of Philosophy of the Enlightenment, starting from the Encyclopaedia (Diderot and others) up to the French Revolution considering its key concepts such as bonheur, citoyenneté, égalité, Droits de l’Homme etc. Philosophies of life, notions as «life» and «organism» in the modern and contemporary age and the philosophies of moral and political life are the fields on which he has particularly focused. For example, he has long dealt with questions concerning the Mind-Body Problem and their representations in modern and contemporary philosophy.
