I am a PhD student at the University of Oregon. I specialize in theories about categories, phenomenological and semiotic inquiries into logic, and metaphysical systems in the history of philosophy. My research tends to focus on Aristotle and Medieval Philosophy, Kant and German Idealism, American Philosophy and Pragmatism, but especially Charles S. Peirce and Josiah Royce. Presently, I am working on a dissertation about the history of categories and semiotics in these philosophical traditions.
