Habilitation

My habilitation is titled The Subject Matter of Morality. Inescapable Memes and the Problem of Sociality. The primary goal of the book is to develop a comprehensive theory of morality’s subject matter that (i) accounts for moral phenomenology and (ii) explains morality as a naturalistic, cultural tool for balancing cooperation and competition to the end of community building. Ultimately, I defend a neopragmatist account of moral truth and moral justification.

My habilitation was accepted by the University of Konstanz in April 2026. I held my habilitation lecture in May 2026.

Below, you find a short video about some of my underlying ideas. (Don’t let the additional hair distract you — it really is me.)
