rationalism; the Academy of Turku; the philosophy of Lucretius; the principle of sufficient reason
I am Lic. Soc. Sc. in Philosophy and MA in Latin Philology and have specialised in the rationalism of Early modern philosophy, the philosophy of Lucretius, the principle of sufficient reason and the Academy of Turku. I have extensive experience in publishing (e.g., 9 peer-reviewed publications), scientific presentations (more than 50 presentations around Europe) and teaching (e.g., public lecture series on the Academy of Turku in 2025 and high school education).
In my dissertation, I study the development of the principle of sufficient reason ("everything has a cause, reason or ground") in Early modern philosophy
