Introduction

In 1986 I completed my philosophical studies at Loránd Eötvös University, Budapest and received my Ph.D. at the same university in 1996. My habilitation was in 2011, and resulted in the book entitled Philosophy of the Late Richard Rorty (2016). I have been working at the Department of Philosophy, University of Szeged since 1984. I became an Associate Professor in 2003.

I have taught at different foreign universities in recent decades. I was an ÖAD scholar for three months at the Philosophy Institute of the University of Vienna (Spring, 1995), where I dealt with the history of traditional hermeneutics. Then, as a visiting guest professor, I taught for two years at the University of Toledo (OH, USA) at the Department of Philosophy (1997-1999). Then I had a research and teaching position at the Philosophy Institute of UNCC (NC, USA) with a Fulbright Grant for a whole academic year (2005-2006). Lastly (March-May 2012), I helped to teach continental philosophy courses (on Kant, Hegel, Husserl, and Heidegger) at Webster University (MO, USA).

I am the member of various philosophical societies (Charles S. Peirce Society; Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy (SPEP); Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy (SAAP), Richard Rorty Society (RRS), Central European Pragmatist Forum (CEPF), Magyar-Német Filozófiai Társaság, Magyar Szómaesztétikai Fórum, Magyar Filozófiai Társaság, stb.). I am the editor-in-chief of the English online journal, Pragmatism Today (www.pragmatismtoday.eu ).


Research profile

My professional field of interest includes hermeneutics, ethics, aesthetics, and pragmatism, especially neo-pragmatism. I am the author of four Hungarian books (Chapters from the History of Western Philosophy from Thales to Hume (1997); Why Did Heidegger Become Heidegger? (2001); Basic Ethics (2004), Philosophy of the Late Richard Rorty (2016)) and have published numerous articles in English and Hungarian on philosophical hermeneutics, Richard Rorty’s neo-pragmatism, and Richard Shusterman’s somaesthetics.
