  Spartaco Pupo (born in 1974), Associate Professor of History of Political Thought at the University of Calabria (ltaly), is an expert in western modern and contemporary political thought. His main research interests are focused on the history of political conservatism and their most influential exponents, including Michael Oakeshott, Russell Kirk, Roger Scruton, and Robert Nisbet. For some years he has been conducting a thorough analysis of David Hume’s political thought, to which has dedicated several essays and papers in international conferences, with the purpose of rediscover the figure of Hume as a modern political theorist, statesman, and analyst of war and international relations. He has edited and introduced the ltalian complete edition of Hume’s political writings (Libertà e moderazione, 2016), the first ltalian edition of the Humean writings on the war (Scritti sulla guerra, 2017), the dispute Hume-Rousseau (Contro Rousseau, 2017) and of the Humean youthful writings (Civiltà e barbarie, 2018). He has edited and introduced the first complete edition of the essays, letters, accounts, and dispatches, which were written by Hume as a statesman and diplomat (A Petty Statesman, Writings on War and International Affairs, 2019). He is member of the Italian Association of Historians of Political Thought, of the Eighteenth-Century Scottish Studies Society, of the Hume Society, and of the Association for Political Theory.
