My research focuses on how philosophy can move beyond narrow Enlightenment conceptions of rationalism and knowledge in order to open itself up to a genuine dialogue with other ways of thinking (non-European, religious, mystical et cetera). Methodological developments in continental philosophy are of particular interest to me (e.g. hermeneutics, phenomenology, critical theory, deconstruction).
