He was formerly associate professor of philosophy and religious studies at Saint Louis University in Madrid, Spain between 2013 and 2024. He works since 2018 against the backdrop of contemporary philosophical discussions on contingency and thinkability. He views the opposition between Openness and Closure as the core problem of today’s philosophy, in which Closure remains the undesirable object and Openness tends to be conceived in three different ways: as dissolution, randomness, and chiasmus or infinitesimality.

Schizoanalysis
Schizoanalysis (''or'' ecosophy, pragmatics, micropolitics, rhizomatics, or nomadology) (; ''schizo-'' from Greek σχίζειν ''skhizein'', meaning "to split") is a set of theories and techniques developed by philosopher Gilles Deleuze and psychoanalyst Félix Guattari, first expounded in their book ''Anti-Oedipus'' (1972) and continued in their follow-up work, ''A Thousand Plateaus'' (1980). Overview The practice acquired many different definitions, uses and articulations during the course of its development in collaborative work with Deleuze and individually in the work of Guattari; for instance, in Guattari's final work, ''Chaosmosis'', he explained that "rather than moving in the direction of reductionist modifications which simplify the complex", schizoanalysis "will work towards its complexification, its processual enrichment, towards the consistency of its virtual lines of bifurcation and differentiation, in short towards its ontological heterogeneity" whereupon it ...

Abu Hasan Al-Ash'ari
Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari (; 874–936 CE) was an Arab Muslim theologian known for being the eponymous founder of the Ash'ari school of kalam in Sunnism. Al-Ash'ari was notable for taking an intermediary position between the two diametrically opposed schools of Islamic theology prevalent at the time: Atharism and Mu'tazilism. He primarily opposed the Mu'tazili theologians on God's eternal attributes and Quranic createdness. On the other hand, the Hanbalis and traditionists were opposed to the use of philosophy or speculative theology, and condemned any theological debate altogether. Al-Ash'ari established a middle way between the doctrines of the aforementioned schools, based both on theological rationalism (''kalam'') and the interpretation of the Quran and Sunna. His school eventually became the predominant school of theological thought within Sunni Islam.Abdullah Saeed ''Islamic Thought: An Introduction'' Routledge 2006 chapter 5 By contrast, Shia Muslims do not accept hi ...
