My research interests are rather broad and diverse. As a postdoc with
the SNF Sinergia Research Project “Grounding: Metaphysics, Science and
Logic”, my work focuses on the idea of cross-temporal grounding – a type
of grounding whereby truths about the past (or the future) are
metaphysically explained by appeal to propositions that were (or will
be) true, but may or may not be presently true. In my doctoral
dissertation, I defended what I call a “subjectivist view of the
mental”, a view according to which one’s own mental states are
essentially different from everyone else’s mental states, although the
fact that they are is a subjective fact rather than an objective one.
Aside from metaphysics and the philosophy of mind, I also have a special
interest in the philosophy of G.W. Leibniz. |
