I am a philosopher working at the intersection of the history of modern European philosophy and contemporary theoretical philosophy. My research focuses on Kantian and post-Kantian traditions, especially Nietzsche, Bergson, and Cassirer, and addresses systematic questions concerning perception, language, symbolic form, objectivity, truth, and culture.
