I am a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney, Australia currently completing a thesis on the philosophy of Friedrich Schelling. My other areas of interest include process philosophy, psychedelic science and philosophy of technology.

Education:

  • Bachelor of Arts (Honours), Swinburne University, Melbourne 2019
    I graduated with first class honours majoring in philosophy with a minor in cinema studies. My thesis attempted to outline an emergentist account of substance dualism by drawing on the works of Friedrich Schelling, Carl Jung, and Iain McGilchrist.
    Thesis Title: “Mapping the Psyche-Civilisation Relationship”
    Supervisor: A/Prof. Arran Gare

  • Doctor of Philosophy, University of Sydney, 2025 (expected)
    This thesis sets forth a participatory interpretation of Scheling’s theory of intellectual intuition. While my original intention was to provide an account of the psychedelic experience informed by Schelling’s theory of intellectual intuition, I soon realised there was still much work to be done in determining a coherent account of the theory itself before it could be applied in modern contexts such as psychedelic studies and cognitive science. The ultimate aim of this thesis is, therefore, to draw out a coherent account of intellectual intuition so that it might begin to be appreciated as a legitmate form of cognition with relevance to contemporary fields of research. For more information on the project please see Research.
