Post-doctoral fellow
Technion- Israel Institute of Technology
ABOUT
I'm a postdoctoral fellow at the Technion's Humanities and Arts Department and a historian of philosophy.
​
I specialize in Kant's ethics and moral psychology and have published on Kant's understanding of feelings and desires and how it is related to contemporary conceptions of emotions. I am also interested in the ethics of emerging technologies and in political philosophy.​
​
Currently, I am working on a Kantian account of self-love as an alternative to the prevalent narcissist understanding of this term.
