Assistant Professor of Philosophy Thimo Heisenberg
Thimo Heisenberg鈥檚 research focuses on German philosophy, social philosophy and political economy. At the moment, he works on two main projects: The first reconstructs a new model of social critique from Hegel鈥檚 Philosophy of Right, the second explores the often-neglected debate about the market economy in German philosophy 1800-1848 and draws from it lessons for the present. Since he strongly believes that teaching and research should go hand-in-hand, his teaching interests follow similar lines: he regularly offers classes on the history of modern European philosophy, on the philosophy of money and on morality and markets.
