Henschen

 

My main research interests include general philosophy of science, philosophy of economics and the philosophy of Kant and Heidegger. In general philosophy of science and philosophy of economics, I'm primarily interested in causality. My research in philosophy of economics also focuses on objectivity and the role of values in macroeconomics. In this five-minute video, I provide an outline of my most recent research on macroeconomics. What I find most fascinating about Kant's philosophy is the architectonic of his work (how is everything linked up?). My 2009 dissertation is concerned with Heidegger's philosophy of science and language.
