Welcome to my site! I'm an Adjunct Professor at the University of Warsaw, Department of Philosophy. Previously, I had various postdoctoral and research grants in Paris, Barcelona, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Vienna, Bratislava and I was a member of SAV, HiTT, GLiF and LOGOS. I'm currently also a member of ALEF. You can find my CV here and on my ORCID, Google Scholar, PhilPeople or Scopus profiles. |
RESEARCH
My research focuses on the semantics of "perspectival" expressions - predicates of taste, aesthetic adjectives, moral terms etc. I'm involved in the contemporary debate between contextualism and relativism about these expressions. I'm also interested in the semantics of knowledge ascriptions, epistemic modals and tense. Theories of speaker meaning and methodological issues such as the status of certain arguments (e.g., "the argument from binding", "the argument from disagreement" etc.) in current semantic debates are among my interests too. Recently, I became interested in the semantics of slurs and gender terms, hate speech, propaganda. Click here for more details. |
