Background

My interests lie mainly in 20th Century Phenomenology, especially Heidegger's thought and in the Study of Nietzsche as the philosopher with whom our contemporary age has begun. I also have a special interest in the question of literature, from whence arose the book on Blanchot. Momentarily I am finishing a book on Nietzsche and Phenomenology, which is to be followed by a reflection on the question of technology and its historial dimension.
