Research Abstract

As Socrates said "an unexamined life is not worth living"; this is one of the reasons for which I decided to do philosophy after having finished my PhD in electrical engineering. Among millions of our unexamined beliefs, I would like to look into those that are about ourselves and our lives. So, I am interested in philosophy of psychology in the broad sense (including philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, self-knowledge, moral psychology and epistemology). The philosophers who have most influenced me are Wittgenstein, Putnam and Burge. Further, Philosophy of religion has always been interesting for me and I enjoy reading and talking about religion.
