I am the author of the book 'Praxis und Gründe. Zu den normativen Grundlagen praktischer Rationalität' (Mentis-Verlag Münster, 2017). My interests are in the philosophy of language, philosophy of psychology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, and in the philosophy of the Later Wittgenstein. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
