About

🇩🇪 During the summer semesters of 2026 and 2027, I will be a Senior Fellow at the Center for Post-Kantian Philosophy at Potsdam University, funded by a Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award from the Alexander Humboldt Foundation.

I'm a full Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto. My areas of research include Kant and Post-Kantian Philosophy, German and British Romanticism, and Global Philosophy (especially Classical Indian Philosophy). I have held research fellowships through the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany.

My articles have been published in journals such as Critical Inquiry, Mind, Philosophers' Imprint, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Canadian Journal of Philosophy, European Journal of Philosophy, American Philosophical Quarterly, History of Philosophy Quarterly, British Journal for the History of Philosophy, and the Journal of the History of Philosophy. 

I'm passionate about teaching, and I've taught a range of courses in both contemporary and historical topics in philosophy. I've also designed and taught several new courses in recent years, including South Asian Philosophy, Philosophy & Literature, and Philosophy & Mythology. I regularly teach Kant and post-Kantian philosophy at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
