From a historical perspective, I am interested in re-reading the genealogy of what has been referred to as post-modernism and post-structuralism. This pulls me towards certain phases of 20^th C French and 20^th C German philosophy. But, more recently, also towards the long Middle Ages. My interests are not author-centric but 'constellational.'

Topically, I am always working on time, language and event metaphysics. I go where these things go, and that is usually into the history of philosophy. Most of what I work on was not originally written in English. So a fair amount of the debates I engage with are not Anglophone.

Specifically, I gravitate towards German phenomenology and French Structuralism and attempt to work out the necessity of certain post-War French modes of thought from those two paradigmatic sources.

While this may sound like a simply antiquarian approach to the history of philosophy, I surmise that the working-out of the interstitial moments, in each case, opens a new avenue of thought, creates a new set of philosophemes, modifies the vocabulary of the philosopher in a novel fashion, and that it does so not merely contingently but with necessity.

As an example of this, I would point to the re-discovery of Structuralist Linguistics in various attempts to shed light on GPTs and LLMs. (Another interest of mine)
