Areas of research
Political theory, philosophical foundations of economics, moral philosophy, business ethics, Adam Smith,
Hegel and German Idealism
My current book project is provisionally entitled Moral subjects in complex systems. Based on the assumption
that many moral ills are caused not by individuals’ evil intentions, but by organizational failures, I explore
the conditions of individual agency in complex organisations, integrating a number of discourses in moral
and political philosophy, but also empirical research (qualitative interviews). The book turns around
themes such as the relation between private self and professional role, responsible handling of
information, the responsibility for a culture in which moral concerns can be raised, and more generally our
understanding of the relation between individuals and society and the meso-level of organizational
structures.
My research project in Frankfurt, which partly overlaps with the book project, is an in-depth case study of
the possibilities and limits of ethical finance. For this purpose I work with a bank that has previously been
active in microfinance and is now mainly active in lending to SMEs and offering saving accounts in
emerging economies in Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe, with an explicit commitment to
ethical values and social impact. My focus is on exploring the ways in which this organization has built its
culture, what specific constraints it encounters in the financial sector, and what role globally active
organizations such as these can play for global justice.
Areas of competence
Virtue ethics, existentialism, critical theory, Kant, Cassirer, philosophy of social sciences, history of
economic thought
