My Teaching

 My approach to teaching philosophy is guided by a simple aim: to help students experience philosophical problems as meaningful and urgent, rather than distant and abstract. I want students to see that questions about knowledge, value, and the human are not confined to texts, but structure how we understand ourselves and the world. To do this, I emphasize clarity, engagement, and the careful development of ideas over time.

In my teaching, I work to create a classroom environment in which students feel both challenged and supported. I present philosophical arguments in a structured and accessible way, breaking down complex positions into their central claims, motivations, and implications. At the same time, I encourage students to actively engage these ideas through discussion, writing, and sustained reflection. My goal is not only to help students understand philosophical positions, but to develop their ability to think critically, articulate their views, and respond to others.
