Francesco Belfiore was professor of internal medicine at the University of Catania Italy. He worked in medical research and has published many articles and several monographs including the extensive and acclaimed Enzyme Regulation and Metabolic Diseases (Karger 1980). In recent years he has reawakened his long-standing interest in philosophy. Taking advantage of his research experience centered on human beings he has conceived a complete and coherent philosophical system outlined in his The Structure of the Mind (University Press of America 2004). Subsequently he has further developed the practical aspects of his philosophical system which he has extensively expounded in the volume The Ontological Foundation of Ethics Politics and Law (University Press of America 2007).
