Geoffrey Dierckxsens Ph.D. in Philosophy – University of Antwerp (FWO), Fonds Ricœur (EHESS) Belgium
I was born in 1987, studied philosophy at the University of Antwerp, where I wrote my bachelor dissertation on the concept of eros in the work of Emmanuel Levinas in 2008. In 2009, I acquired my master’s degree and defended my thesis on ethical responsibility and erotic love in the works of Levinas and Jean-Luc Marion. My field of research includes phenomenological and existentialistic topics, such as subjectivity, singularity, ethical responsibility, the moral conscience, charity, solicitude, desire, and erotic love. I am currently working on my PhD-project about ethical responsibility and singularity, which is founded by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO). The approach of research is based on the works of Levinas and Ricœur.
