I’ve written an article on the influence of migration patterns on Swiss philosophy for philosophie.ch. Also, I’ve written the entry on the Barcan formulas for the German Wikipedia. I was featured as an expert on Swiss Radio for a piece on Marx’ concept of fetish.
Contributions
I focus on issues related to political and social philosophy, and I make an effort to relate the history of philosophy to contemporary issues.
