Keywords

My inspiration

My work on Kant focuses on (1) Kant’s philosophy of history and (2) Kant’s notion of rationality and the relationship between theoretical and practical reason. My work in ethics and political theory focuses on (3) models of practical rationality, (4) cosmopolitanism and patriotism in late 18th-century German thought, and (5) feminist theory.
