I’ve published quite widely in European philosophy, but mainly on the 20th-century and mainly in French and Francophone philosophy.
My recurring interest is the concept of institutions in this tradition. I think this tradition is particularly useful for thinking about institutions because they link this, often subtly, to lived-experience. Most of us assume that our lived-experience is immediate, natural or simply given. The type of philosophy which interests me challenges this assumption; showing how institutions enable, inflect and at times determine lived-experience. I think this has important implications for how we think about some of the basic ways we live our lives, as well as our social and political structures (which, on this line of argument, are some of the basic ways we live our lives).
I’ve managed to explore this in a few different contexts (clicking on the below will you bring you to an article):
