I am not currently affiliated with a university and am pursuing my research as an independent scholar at this time.

My research interests include continental philosophy, intellectual history, literary theory, history and philosophy of science, theological anthropology, semiotics, hermeneutics, philology, and historical political thought.

Most recently I have been studying Schopenhauer, Bergson, and Deleuze, in alternating sequence.
