2006: M.A. (Philosophy) - Middlesex University (UK);



I am currently working toward a Ph.D. at Middlesex University
I am intensely interested in non-philosophy for rather diverse yet related reasons, but I am particularly concerned with:



1) the theoretical possibilities occasioned by the rigorous realization of an immanently performed and non-reflexive cognitive structure akin to that of the unilateral duality;



2) the (earlier) notion of a heterogenously conceived science of philosophy wherein philosophical specularity occupies the position of an empirical datum;



3) the consequences 2) entails for a non-hierarchical conception of philosophy's relation to the extra-philosophical, specifically science;



4) the efficiency of axiomatic/theorematic registers of thought in the articulation of what are otherwise "unthinkable" specular blindspots; and



5) the unilaterality of radical immanence as the indifference of the real, invariably presupposed (at least minimally as a non-reflexive conceptual space) in all specular activity.
