Personal profile
Research overview
I am generally interested in the philosophy of the human sciences, particularly those that address practical and theoretical reasoning. This interest has led me to the thought of Benedict de Spinoza – an early pioneer of philosophical anthropology. My other interests include the philosophy of economics and political economy, René Girard and mimetic theory, and early Daoist texts, especially the Zhuangzi.
