On Sept 24th, I will defend my “higher doctoral dissertation” (roughly equivalent to a habilitation / second book).

Prof. Stathis Psillos and Prof. James Ladyman will be my “opponents”.

It looks as though the defense will be streamed online. Please contact me if you are interested in attending.

See the poster for more details.
