Social and Political Philosophy, PPE, Social Complexity, Political Economy

My research focuses on social complexity, institutional evolution, and the social contract. When writing on these topics, I aim to put philosophy in dialogue with social science. So, most of my work ends up falling within the subfield of Philosophy, Politics, and Economics — usually called "PPE".
