It's been a while since my last post. Little has happened since then in
terms of publications, except that I finished my book project on
empirical challenges to free will (in German). The book will be
entitled »Illusion freier
Wille? Grenzen einer empirischen Annäherung an ein philosophisches
Problem«, and it will appear in June
this year, published by Metzler. For more information, please see here.

I finally found the time for a complete re-launch of my website. I hope
to be able to keep it more up to date in the future.
Opus
Magnum
From April 2013 until October 2015, I was on research leave, funded
by an Opus
Magnum grant for a project entitled: »Illusion freier Wille? Grenzen einer
empirischen Annäherung an ein philosophisches Problem«.
My areas of specialization are the philosophy
of mind (in
particular free will and mental causation) and the philosophy of
cognition (in particular
so-called "4E-approaches" to cognition),
and I have recently started to become interested in the philosophy of emotions
as well. A more detailed description of my current activities and
projects can be found here.
From April 2013 until October 2015 I was on research leave,
funded by a »Opus
