ABOUT

INTERESTS

I am working on the broad field of History and Philosophy of Ideas, but focusing exclusively on the narrower sub-field of Darwinism and its socio-philosophical implications.

In recent years, I have combined the philosophical study of Darwinism with Computational Corpus Linguistics methodologies. My aim has been to take a deeper look at Darwin’s language and, thus, to be able to draw stronger conclusions about the conceptual heritage we have received from Darwinism, which is a constitutive pillar of the contemporary scientific worldview.

CURRENTLY

After two years of research as post-doctoral fellow at the University of Leeds (UK), School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science, Centre for History and Philosophy of Science, I am now a lecturer at the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU), attached to the Philosophy department in San Sebastián (Spain), Facultad de Educación, Filosofía y Antropología.

I’m currently teaching undergraduate subjects at Facultad de Relaciones Laborales y Trabajo Social, Campus of Álava.

I collaborate with the Applied Evolutionary Epistemology Lab, and I am Executive Secretary of the biannual International Ontology Congress.

Former collaborations: IAS-Research. Centre for Life, Mind and Society.

Watch me talk about my past and current activities and interests in collaboration with the Applied Evolutionary Epistemology Lab:
