My research interests concern the connections between Husserlian phenomenology, psychoanalysis (Freudian and some contemporary), and continental thought on sensibility. The thematization of sensibility and alterity, as found in Levinas and Merleau-Ponty, in the formation of "I" and in some of sociality (notably that of Husserl on intersubjectivity) is the subject of current research.

I am also interested in Nietzsche's philosophy of forces in bodies, and his attempt to rethink European values. Finally, I am also interested in the distinctions between 19^th-century rational psychology in German speaking cultures (Herbart, Brentano) and Revolutionary psychiatry in France (Pinel, Esquirol, and later, Charcot, among others).

My research concerns modern philosophy (17^th and 18^th centuries), in particular Leibniz and the German and French Enlightenment. I am particularly interested in the epistemological and metaphysical aspects, such as the problem of individuation, the relationship between the mind and body, conceptions of space, analytical and synthetical methods, theories of hypothesis and definition, the systematic character of knowledge and the relations between mental faculties.

My recent research mainly deals with the reception of Leibniz in 18^th-century German and French philosophy. Some of my studies have also concerned Kant's philosophy, particularly his methodology.
