  Vito Guida is a PhD student in Cultural and Intellectual History at the Warburg Institute (supervised by Dr Guido Giglioni and Professors Alastair Hamilton). The focus of Guida's research is Philosophy and Theology of the medieval and early modern period. His expertise includes the interaction of cultural phenomena and intellectual ideas; the development of theology within the Franciscan and Dominican areas; the correlation between Reform and Counter-Reformation; the relationship between ecclesiastical institutions and laity. Furthermore, his studies concentrate on the tension existing between the notions of free will and predestination; the role of eschatology in the social structures; and the conflict between reason and faith and the ensuing debate between cataphatic and apophatic theologies.
