His present research explores Nietzschean undercurrents in the critical Marxism of Beauvoir, Fanon, and Huey P. Newton.
His current book project 'The Will to Become: Beauvoir and Nietzsche Against Existentialism' argues that Beauvoir’s abandonment of Sartre’s idea of ontological freedom leads, in her later writings of the 1960s-80s, to a complete rejection of the core tenets of existentialism in favor of a determinist, naturalist, and immoralist conception of politics that has important parallels with Nietzsche’s political thought.
