Scholarship and Biography

Research and publications range from the metaphysics of birth and death to epistemology, philosophy of mathematics and philosophy of language (with special reference to Gottlob Frege), the philosophy of space and time (with special reference to Kurt Gödel and Albert Einstein), and Plato and Aristotle. Simone Weil is also a major focus of my research.
