Ph.D. in Philosophy (St. Petersburg State University)

My research focuses on American neo-pragmatism and the philosophy of language, with particular interest in Donald Davidson, W. V. O. Quine, Wilfrid Sellars, and John McDowell. Currently, my research interests are closely related to the philosophy of so-called “Pittsburgh” neo-Hegelianism. I am interested in how the views of Hegel and Wittgenstein can be combined, and in general, how compatible the approaches of German idealism are with analytical philosophy. Another topic of my research interests is Walter Benjamin’s philosophy of history.

I translated into Russian Wilfrid Sellars’ Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind (with Robert Brandom’s Study Guide) and Harry Frankfurt’s On Truth. My work has appeared in journals such as Epistemology and Philosophy of Science, Problemos, Horizon. Studies in Phenomenology, and Logos.
