Brent Jones is an MA student in Theoretical Philosophy at Ruhr-Universität Bochum and TU Dortmund University. They hold a Bachelor of Arts with First Class Honours from the University of Notre Dame Australia, specialising in Philosophy and Politics and International Relations.
Their research sits at the intersection of phenomenology, post-structuralist philosophy, and ontology, with particular interests in individuation, becoming, temporality, and the relationship between activity and substance.
Their work investigates the ontological and methodological implications of understanding perception, subjectivity, and individuation as relational and processual rather than grounded in preconstituted entities. Drawing particularly on phenomenological and post-structuralist traditions, their research engages questions concerning the genesis of experience, the constitution of relations, and the philosophical priority of activity.
Their broader research extends these concerns into political philosophy and the philosophy of technology, examining how affect, perception, and technics participate in the formation of social and political experience. This includes the development of affective-perceptual diagnostics as a methodological approach to contemporary political phenomena.
