Current Projects:
- Methodology of German Romanticism and Idealism, philosophy and literature. My recent work concerns the structure and methodological functions of metaphor and non-propositional knowledge.
- Freedom, causality and determinism, and the concept of self. I am especially interested in tracing the influence of Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi’s critique of Spinozism on subsequent German philosophy.
