Georgios Tsagdis

Georgios Tsagdis is a Fellow at the Westminster Law & Theory Centre, who works at theoretical intersections, striving to revitalise philosophy as a thought that reaches beyond itself. Within the philosophic tradition this effort assumes the form of a dialogue between ancient and contemporary texts. His recent doctoral work The Archeology of Nothing, attempts to rethink the relation of presence and absence at the inception of Greek thought, through Heidegger’s reading of Anaximander, Heraclitus and Parmenides. In other recent work he explores the question of animality in Derrida, Levinas and Agamben, the figure of the animal in the Platonic corpus and the revolutionary potential of parasitism in the work of Serres. He is the organizer of a London intercollegiate colloquium on Plotinus and editor and contributor of the Plotinus Archive, a virtual polyphonic commentary on the Enneads. Email: [email protected]
