Ryerson University

Faculty Member, Philosophy

About

My main research interests are in 19th and 20th Century Continental Philosophy.  Some themes I have been especially interested in are:  the nature of freedom and agency, the link between action and perception, the nature and role of intersubjectivity, the nature of property, the nature of time and history, the role of unconscious experience, the nature and significance of familial bonds.  The figures I have focused on the most are Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre and Merleau-Ponty.  I also have developed interests in Plato, Aristotle, Descartes and, more recently, in Bergson and Arendt.  My current research is focused on the temporal character of action.
