My research centers on individual identity, where I develop the notion of whoness in contrast to the traditional paradigm of whatness (quidditas in Latin and māhiyyah / ماهية in Arabic) through which individuation is usually approached. My dissertation on this topic includes chapters on John Scottus Eriugena, Abū Naṣr al-Fārābī, and Peter Abelard.I also write on the French Moralists and the philosophy of brief forms, and I am the author of two literary books in French.
