I was born in Waiblingen, Germany in 1981, went to primary school in Untereisesheim and graduated from the Hohenstaufen-Gymnasiums Bad Wimpfen in 2000. I received a B.A. in paedagogics and art history from the university then known as the Universität Karlsruhe (TH) and a M.A. in philosophy from the Universität Konstanz. I spent two years in Konstanz as a doctoral student and then moved to Geneva in 2010 to continue my studies for a PhD within the PETAF-project. Here's my academic cv. More on some of my academic and non-academic interests below.

Interests

Philosophy

I'm mostly interested in topics in metaphysics, the philosophy of language and in some topics in epistemology.

I spent about five years studying at the Fachbereich Philosophie of the Universität Konstanz.

From April to May 2010, I visited the research group Understanding and the A Priori in Cologne. I am now an associate member of the group.

Since October 2010, I'm a PhD-student at the Département de Philosophie of the Université de Genève, a member of the center for metaphysics eidos and one of the ESRs within the FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network PETAF. I'm also a member of the editorial committe of Dialectica.

Two very useful philosophy wepages: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Philpapers.

M.A. Numminen über die Einheit von Ethik und Ästhetik. Download: UBUWEB: Numminen.

Variationen über ein Thema von Buridan (Konzept, Ausführung und Stimme: Joseph Beuys).

A paper that I wrote: Soames's Argument 1 against Strong Two-Dimensionalism. (This draft version has more conveniently placed tables and doesn't require a subscription.) If you read the paper, please let me know what you think!

Photography

I occasionally take photos, some of which find their way into my gallery.

Film

My favourite film-related webpage: Twitch.

Literature

Literarische Fundstücke: Conols Online Bibliothek.

Misc

Some fun webpages for wanna-be electronic musicians like me: Patchwork, Tonematrix, Audiotool, Inudge.
