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 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 a wide range of themes from dialectical thinking within life cycles, to life’s values and purposes, to facing and experiencing the unknown.
