Greetings and welcome to my homepage.
I am an assistent professor (in German: Akademischer Rat auf Zeit) at the University of Konstanz. I work at the chair of ethics and moral philosophy with Jacob Rosenthal.
My main research interests are metaethics, normative ethics, and philosophical anthropology. I’m also interested in philosophy of language, epistemology, and the history of moral philosophy. I currently think a lot about neopragmatism, inferentialism, the nature of moral normativity, the justification of moral norms, the gap between humans and the other animals, and the evolutionary roots of morality.
Here’s a link to my philpeople page.
