Biography
I encountered philosophy early on, as a mouldy copy of Aristotle's On memory and reminiscence, which I found intriguing. My formal philosophical education took place much later at the Â鶹´«Ã½ of Essex and at the Institut Catholique in Paris.
My interests were decisively shaped by my encounter with classical German philosophy, Kant and Hegel in particular. I was awarded a PhD from the Â鶹´«Ã½ of Essex for a thesis on the relation between transcendental and absolute idealism.
My current research is on the metaphysics and psychology of freedom.

Community and Business
I often participate in public debates on topics related to my research, here is a panel discussion on the topic 'Is Autonomy a Myth?' from the Battle of Ideas (2015):

Relating to the topic of autonomy, I am collaborating with colleagues in Philosophy and external partners to develop a network on Ethics in Finance:

Together with other colleagues in Philosophy, we have set up The Philosophy Resource aimed at students and teachers of A-level and IB philosophy. My contribution is on the notion of tolerance:
