Hello!  I’m a literary scholar and a historian of ideas. I use precise, micro-philological analysis to answer broad philosophical questions as they pop-up in the classical and not-so-classical traditions.

 

Loves: microcosms, architecture of libraries, typography, fragments, Erich Auerbach

 

Activities: reading, running, libido sciendi, listening to Mahler symphonies, offering refreshments to friends and strangers.

 

I teach at Yale-NUS College, Singapore and I’m a fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin for the 2023-24 academic year.
