Mario Castellana
Mario Castellana, già docente di Filosofia della scienza presso l'Università del Salento e di Introduzione generale alla filosofia presso la Facoltà Teologica Pugliese di Bari, è da anni impegnato nel valorizzare la dimensione culturale del pensiero scientifico attraverso l'analisi di alcune figure della filosofia della scienza francese ed italiana del '900. Oltre ad essere autore di diverse monografie e di diversi saggi su tali figure, ha allargato i suoi interessi ai rapporti fra scienza e fede, scienza ed etica, scienza e democrazia, al ruolo di alcune figure femminili nel pensiero contemporaneo come Simone Weil e Hélène Metzger. Collaboratore della storica rivista francese "Revue de synthèse", è attualmente direttore scientifico di "Idee", rivista di filosofia e scienze dell'uomo nonché direttore della Collana Internazionale "Pensée des sciences", Pensa Multimedia, Lecce; come nello spirito di "Odysseo" è un umile navigatore nelle acque sempre più insicure della conoscenza.

Carla Callegari
Carla Callegari is Associate Professor for History of Education and Comparative Education at the University of Padua, Italy. She has conducted research within the context of the epistemological and methodological renewal, which, since the 1960s, has led to the emergence of the history of education as a revitalised and broad discipline alongside the history of educational ideas. Her focus has always been on highlighting educational theories that support educational practices in particular contexts and through specific experiences. She has also developed a specific interest in the methodological aspects of research, focusing on sources as a heuristic and interpretative issue. Carla Callegari as a scholar of comparative education is one of two professors responsible for coordinating the Working Group on "Comparative Studies in Education" established within the Italian Society of Pedagogy (SIPED).
