Dr Andrés Saenz de Sicilia's Research
Andrés’ research interests are in social and political philosophy (including contemporary political theory and the history of social and political thought), post-Kantian philosophy, ethics and aesthetics. He is especially interested in bringing global and transdisciplinary perspectives to bear on these areas of enquiry. He is currently working on topics related to violence, technology and ecological crisis.
Andrés is the author of Subsumption in Kant, Hegel & Marx: From the Critique of Reason to the Critique of Society (Brill, 2024) and is currently preparing an edited collection for Bloomsbury provisionally titled Marx & the Critique of Humanism. His writing has also appeared in journals such as Radical Philosophy, Language Sciences and European Journal of Social Theory. He is an editor of The Philosopher, Britain’s longest running public philosophy journal (founded in 1923).
Andrés’ research has been supported by grants from the British Academy, Arts & Humanities Research Council, Natural Environment Research Council and Mexican Foreign Office.
