Greg Caramenico is an attorney and independent scholar working in legal philosophy, the history of ideas, and the philosophy of mind. A recurring theme connects his work across these fields: memory in its psychological, social, and metaphysical forms, and the way communities and traditions transmit and justify what they remember across centuries.

His current projects in legal philosophy and intellectual history, the latter ranging across longue-durée Italian thought and Italian and Sephardic Jewish history, are described [HERE]. Another, still in progress, asks what allows a culture to survive contraction and to flourish when conditions improve, and whether the demographic decline now widely feared threatens a culture's art, language, and ritual as much as its economy. For several years, his research centered on cognitive and behavioral neuroscience and its bearing on mind and law; he was an early participant in the field that became neurolaw. Related work led to the philosophy-of-mind book Coming to Mind (University of Chicago Press, 2014) and various articles on emergence, cognition, and memory.

He is a senior executive editor of the Italian Law Journal and reviews scholarly books in philosophy, law, and history. He holds a J.D. from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and an M.A. in intellectual history from Vanderbilt University, and has conducted archival research across Italy for previous projects. He is bilingual in English and Italian, speaks and reads Persian, and reads French and Hebrew.
