My intellectual point of departure is the duty to make the will to know conscious of itself as a problem. To this end, I have drawn on modern European thought (from Kant to Foucault via Nietzsche) to articulate the philosophical method of critical history. It implores an historically grounded critique of the worldly and earthly relations that both enable and limit the human condition, which today must be thought within the horizon of the event of the Anthropocene. These themes have seen the light of day in an array of disciplinary forms, such as the peer-reviewed journals Theory, Culture & Society, Parrhesia, Philosophy and Technology, Critical Studies in Teaching and Learning and Thesis Eleven, as well as two monographs, Critique as Critical History (2017), and The Ethics of Internationalisation (forthcoming 2024).
