Hello, I am a philosopher of language, logic, science, mind, and AI.
I have been working in academic philosophy since 2008 (studying since 2003). Since then I have worked in several institutions (currently: Center for Advanced Internet Studies Bochum), concluded research projects, substituted as the Chair of Theoretic Philosophy in Greifswald, organized conferences, and given many classes. My research concentrates on the logic and philosophy of questions, definition theory, pragmatized ND calculi, and how all this can be translated into an AI architecture.

About Me

I am a husband and father of two children. The three of them occupy the three top spots on a pertinent linear ordering of the set of all people. Apart from that, I like running, hiking, the landscapes of Australia, the Polish language, submissions to the international feature film category at the Academy Awards (watched: 195/2779), and occasional board games. But, hobby-wise, my biggest passion is listening to unusual music. I am a collector of vinyl, CDs (esp. the forgotten format of miniCDs), and cassettes.
