About

I am a University Lecturer at  the Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy, University of Jyväskylä, Finland. 2007-2010 I was a philosophy research fellow at the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies,

I am an adjuct professor ("docent") of Social and Moral Philosophy at University of Helsinki; and of Philosophy at the Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy, University of Jyväskylä.

My research interests cover social philosophy, the nature of human agency and personhood, theories of normativity, ethics and meta-ethics. The main topics are mutual recognition, normative (moral) realism, and solidarity.

I have just finished co-editing a book on Recognition and Social Ontology (with Heikki Ikäheimo), and on Solidarity (in Finnish, with Anne Birgitta Pessi); another co-edited collection on Hegel and Action (with Constantine Sandis) appeared 2010. Before that I published a monograph on Charles Taylor's views on humans as "Self-Interpreting Animals" (in Finnish).

All sorts of comments on any of the papers that you find here are most welcome!
