Welcome to my site!
I am a Private Docent in Philosophy at Bayreuth University and affiliated as a researcher with the Institute for Futures Studies in Stockholm. My main research interests lie in ethics and political philosophy. In ethics I am particularly interested in topics of normative ethics such as consequentialism and the principle that ‘ought’ implies ‘can’. In political philosophy I am particularly interested in normative democratic theory.
News! I am excited to announce that my book From Value to Rightness: Consequentialism, Action-Guidance, and the Perspective-Dependence of Moral Duties will be published by Routledge. The book addresses the debate over objective and subjective consequentialism and argues that, according to the best version of act-consequentialism, the rightness of actions depends on expected rather than actual value. The book goes beyond the debate about consequentialism and touches on important debates in normative ethics and metaethics, including the distinction between criterion of rightness and decision procedure, 'ought' implies 'can', and case-based intuitions about the perspective-dependence of moral duties. You can find my previous contributions to the debate over objective and subjective consequentialism here, here, here, here, and here. An earlier draft of the book has been discussed in a symposium at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg; the final version will be discussed in Zeitschrift für philosophische Forschung.
My CV is available here.
