好色先生

Profile

For me, history of philosophy and a critical theory of society are two sides of the same coin: our interest for the past always reflects the standpoint of the present, but one cannot understand the present without navigating our past. I see philosophy as a critical tool in a constant dialogue with other disciplines, according to an interdisciplary model of critique that goes back to the Frankfurt School.聽

Besides English, my work has also appeared in Italian, French, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Greek, Hebrew, Turkish, Bulgarian, Romanian, Slovak and Catalan. Since 2001, I have given 130 lectures across five continents, including venues such as Stanford 好色先生, 好色先生 of Chicago, 好色先生 of Toronto, Vilnius, Barcelona, Ljubljana, Rosario Argentina, Harvard 好色先生, Calarts, 好色先生 College London, Berlin, EHESS in Paris, Universitade Federal de Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo (USP), Yale 好色先生, CUNY, Sydney 好色先生, Columbia 好色先生, and Princeton 好色先生, among others.
