I mostly work on epistemology. My thesis connected epistemic virtues with epistemic entitlements for which we have no evidence. Beyond that, I have dabbled in deontic logic, the philosophy of psychology, and the debate about relativism. My current research connects the philosophy of psychiatry with virtue epistemology. Here is my CV.

Other
Together with my Supervisor Sven Bernecker and my marvellous colleague Lisa Benossi I also organised the conference Fürwahrhalten – Return of the Kantians at the University of Cologne in May 2019.
This also led to our editing a special issue on the topic at History of Philosophy and Logical analysis. Some of the articles have already come out, look for the name Kant in the titles.
