Practice Areas

Contemporary Philosophy, Post-nihilism, Ontology, Epistemology, Modal Philosophy, Philosophy of Mythology, Early Greek Thought.
Research Interests
I work on post-nihilism, meta-conceptuality, and mythophysics against the backdrop of contemporary discussions on contingency, compossibility, and worlding, with special emphasis on early Greek thought, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and F茅lix Guattari. Formerly I have worked on the philosophy of religion and the history and epistemology of religious ideas, with special emphasis on the conceptualisation of hybridity in religious origins as a means to counter present-day religious fundamentalism and xenophobia.
