My research focuses on existential philosophy, with particular attention to ethical, social, and otherwise normative questions. Distinctive in my approach is my reliance on the conceptual repertoire and methodological tools of analytic normative philosophy, which is historically far removed from existential philosophy yet deeply valuable to it.
