CURRENT RESEARCH

Presently preparing an article on Husserl’s theory of image-consciousness. The aim of this article is to present an original conception of the Sujetintention—Husserl’s term for our consciousness of the real depicted object or person, who does not appear but whom the image represents.
Currently developing an article on Heidegger’s interpretation of Plato’s Theaetetus. This article draws from my paper “The Meaning of Being Wrong. Phenomenology of False Judgement in Heidegger’s ‘On the Essence of Truth’”, given April 28th, 2015 at the “What is Phenomenology for Heidegger?” workshop at KU Leuven. (
Volunteering for the Open Commons of Phenomenology to help create online Husserl resources, such as an exhaustive bibliography of his works. (ophen.org)
