Research interests

The whole point of studying philosophy is to improve our thinking about the important issues of ‎everyday life. The Socratic examined life is a life made worth living. My research focuses on ‎connecting philosophy and practice. It is embedded in Western philosophy with scholarly, in-depth ‎emphasis on Existential philosophy. It covers many themes, from dialectical thinking within life ‎cycles to life’s values and purposes to facing and experiencing the unknown.‎
