My work deals with the dysfunctions of practical rationality and the introduction and development of a vocabulary (prohairèsisboulèsis/voluntashexis/habituspropatheia, etc.) for thinking about the different modalities of non-virtuous human action.
  • Re-evaluation of the concept of naturalism in the field of ancient ethics.
