For the materialists:
Tall, glasses, long dark hair, fair skin, breasts, legs.
For the idealists:
I'm an idealist. And the ideal woman (obviously).
Note: Only idealists will understand that this is a serious joke.
For the object-oriented people:
I'm not an object.
Also true for other people.
For the existentialists:
I am. But I would love to be more.
For the phenomenologists:
I can be experienced, because I am a phenomenon.
And phenomenal, obviously.
For the nihilists:
I say yes, always. (Hammer included.)
For the analytical philosophers:
I'm a continental philosopher, and I'm fine with that.
For the non-philosophically minded:
Everything is philosophy. (Also the first sentence of a book I've written, to appear some time during the autumn of 2018.)
Philosophy is a broad notion, you don't have to be a philosopher, but enjoying conversations and searching for understanding is very much appreciated :)
For the fellow-travelers:
Hi. I've lived in China, USA, Israel, Ukraine, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. And traveled in several more countries. Home is where my bed sleeps. (Or, more correctly, where my laptop rests...)
For the academics:
Been there, done that. Becoming a Dr. was nice. Being a post-doc is not always as nice. So I'm teaching and writing, as a freelance philosopher. And a Research Fellow. And a Post-Doc. And my first monograph is to be published in a few months (March 2018). But mostly I'm a freelancer, philosophical consultant, philosophical investigator. Whatever you'd like to name it.
Brains for hire!
For the head hunters:
I am my own boss, and I am always available for projects where my philosophical talents, analytical skills and verbal power can be put to good use.
Also... Six things I could never do without...
- Language (writing, books, paper, internet, philosophy, intersubjectivity)
- Air (space, breath, cleanliness, smell, difference, fire)
- Food (activity, for thought, spice, chocolate, cooking, pie)
- Nature (green, dogs, walks, running, silence, truth)
- Time (choices, mystery, death, rhythm, growth, music)
- Rules (defiance, order, logic, freedom, trust, Spinoza)
This is me...
