Approach

I teach for clarity and independence: the aim is to think with precision, to write with economy, and to engage primary texts directly.

Lessons online or in London. Evenings and weekends available.

Reflections

Essays. Continuing reflections on realism, perception, and human nature — part of a sustained philosophical project concerned with how thought encounters being. Selected published work will appear here when available.

Reflections in Progress

Fragments and questions — thought pieces that remain open, written as part of an ongoing inquiry into what is the human being.
