I am an analytic philosopher of social science and mind currently holding a joint appointment at Tel Hai University of Kiryat Shemona (Israel) and at Witten/Herdecke University (Germany). My research focuses on constitutive, mechanistic, and computational explanations in the social sciences and the cognitive sciences. I also work on theoretical questions about causality in the metaphysics of mind and on counterfactual and regularity theories of causation. More recently, I have also become interested in the connection of religion and cooperation.
In the past, I have served as a PI in a project funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG), as the project coordinator of a European research project on the philosophy of social science and neuroscience, and I have collaborated as a PI within a philosophical research
project funded by the German-Israeli Foundation on causation and computation in neuroscience. Since 2026, I am an associate editor of Erkenntnis.
