Leo Charles Ferrari (December 8, 1927 – October 7, 2010) was a St. Thomas University philosophy professor, noted Saint Augustine scholar, and founding member of the organization Flat Earth Society of Canada.
Leo Ferrari was a founding member and head of the Flat Earth Society of Canada, later renamed the Flat Earth Society (FES).[1]
In Ferrari's writings in support of the FES and the Flat Earth, he attributed everything from gender to racial inequality on the globularist and the Spherical Earth model.[2] Ferrari even claimed to have nearly fallen off "the Edge" of the Earth at Brimstone Head on Fogo Island.[3]
Ferrari was a key figure in the 1990 flat earth "documentary", In Search of the Edge. In the accompanying study guide, Ferrari is outed as a "globularist," someone who believes the earth is spherical. The intent of the film was to promote critical thinking about media by "[attempting] to prove in convincing fashion, something everyone knew to be false."
