Research in philosophy

On this page you can find my research publications as well as the few blog posts I have written on other popular scientific blogs about my research topics. 

Currently, my main research projects include 1) investigating Edith Stein's writings on the state and community, 2) writing a book and articles on media-based public discussion, continuing the work I accomplished in my doctoral dissertation, and 3) working on the theory of collective memory, combining my philosophical and historical work on Eastern Europe.
