I’m a philosopher with core research interests in Early Modern Rationalism, Kant, and German Idealism. Where possible, I connect my historical research with contemporary discussions in metaphysics and epistemology.
Currently, I’m a Postdoc working on Kant’s Transcendental Dialectic in the project “Reasonable Ideas” at Humboldt University Berlin. Before, I was a Postdoc at the University of Zurich and a Visiting Fellow at Princeton University and Humboldt University Berlin.
My main project concerns Kant’s metaphysics of existence and modality. I develop a ‘Meinongian’ reading of Kant, according to which his theory of modality crucially relies on an ontology of non-existent objects.
On June 11, my paper on Kant’s notion of a determination will be discussed in the Classical German Philosophy Colloquium at HU Berlin.
On July 6-7, I’ll give a talk about Kant’s Supreme Principle at a workshop in Berlin.
On July 15-16, I’ll give a talk about Kant’s Principle of Complete Determination at the conference “Kant’s Metaphysics of the Intelligible World” at Goethe Universität in Frankfurt am Main.
