Greetings and welcome to my homepage.
I am a philosopher working in ethics and moral philosophy. I am currently a senior research associate (Oberassistent) at the University of Zurich and a Privatdozent (venia legendi in Philosophy) at the University of Konstanz.
My research addresses foundational questions about morality at the intersection of metaethics and normative ethics, with connections to philosophical anthropology and the history of moral philosophy. In my latest book project (currently under review), I develop an account of the subject matter of morality.
I am interested in themes in (neo)pragmatism, moral non-representationalism, and the history of pragmatism, and I am currently thinking a lot on how human social practices shape normativity and the meaning of moral language.
Here’s a link to my philpeople page.
