Short presentation
I hold a Ph.D in Philosophy of Religion. My research involves metaphysics, the nature of consciousness, philosophy of science, epistemology in general, as well as issues of religion and politics. While anchored in the framework of analytical philosophy, I try to approach philosophy broadly, also employing perspectives relating to phenomenology, Medieval thought, and the Aristotelian tradition.
I'm currently involved in the WASP-HS project Artificial Intelligence, Democracy and Human Dignity.
