Weltverhältnis und Weltverlust. Versuch über Skepsis und Metaphysik der ModalitätDissertation, Université de Fribourg. 2021.I maintain that substantive metaphysics makes an ineliminable contribution to our mind’s cognitive relation to objects. To account for the precise nature of this metaphysical contribution, I investigate domains of thought in which our cognitive relation to objects appears problematic. In perception, an experience’s metaphysical dependence upon objects and their essences ground its content and, in part, epistemic worth. Regarding metaphysical modality, viewing modality and actuality as equally fu…Read more

36Das Ärgernis der Philosophie: Metaphysik in Adornos "Negativer Dialektik" (edited book)Mohr Siebeck. 2019.Metaphysics is, as Adorno once notes, the nuisance of philosophy. On the one hand, metaphysics is the reasons of philosophy's existence; on the other hand, it is nearly impossible to characterise metaphysics precisely. This tension is reflected with reference to the contemporary political and cultural situation in Adorno's "Meditations on Metaphysics", the last part of his opus magnum *Negative Dialectics*. The essays in this volume are devoted to different facets of Adorno's examination of meta…Read more

Eine jede Philosophie dreht sich um den ontologischen Gottesbeweis? Die Spur natürlicher Theologie bei AdornoIn Mario Schärli & Marc Nicolas Sommer (eds.), Das Ärgernis der Philosophie: Metaphysik in Adornos "Negativer Dialektik", Mohr Siebeck. pp. 237-278. 2019.I interpret Adorno's bold claim that all philosophy revolves around the ontological argument.

I then interpret the significance of this thesis for Adorno's *Negative Dialectics*. I argue that Adorno does not give up the ontological argument's claim—capturing reality in thought—but gives it a Marxist spin: whether reality can be captured in thought depends on…Read more

26Zukunftsbewusstsein. Grundriss einer Phänomenologie der ErwartungIn Emil Angehrn & Joachim Küchenhoff (eds.), Erwartung. Zukunft zwischen Furcht und Hoffnung, . 2018.I investigate Husserl's thesis that consciousness of futurity (protention) is constitutive of time-consciousness. I argue that consciousness of future states of presently perceived objects—what I call 'objective' protentions—are not constitutive of time-consciousness. Rather, Husserl's thesis only holds for 'empty' protentions—the expectation that some future state will succeed my present state.
