My work spans two main areas: temporal metaphysics and cognitive theory.
Temporal metaphysics
In this area I developed Existential Realism (ER), a view that distinguishes between what exists — what is present and empirically accessible — and what can nevertheless be considered real, such as past or future events that play causal, representational, or inferential roles. The framework aims to preserve the strengths of presentism while addressing its difficulties concerning the ontological status of the past.

Temporal metaphysics
In this area I developed Existential Realism (ER), a view that distinguishes between what exists — what is present and empirically accessible — and what can nevertheless be considered real, such as past or future events that play causal, representational, or inferential roles. The framework aims to preserve the strengths of presentism while addressing its difficulties concerning the ontological status of the past.
Cognitive theory
Here I develop Cognitive Constructivism, an interdisciplinary framework that examines how organisms construct viable world-models through perception, prediction, and embodied interaction. The approach engages work in philosophy of mind, predictive processing, and embodied cognition to explore how agents generate stable world-models while remaining embedded in biological and cultural systems.
I also work in contemplative studies and in the history of philosophy, with particular interests in Hellenistic and Late Antique philosophy.
