Current Research
I have recently published a short book on responsibility as a responsive moral concept. Responsibility plays a central role in my research with regard to political thought, health, climate, and animal issues. In my current book project provisionally entitled "The Good Body" I aim to develop the understanding of the body as responsive and reflect on the implications it has for select concrete bioethical issues. I welcome any enquiries concerning collaboration with regard to these and related questions.
