Had a great time at this year‘s ASPP conference in Swansea. Thanks to the organizers and the colleagues for their valuable feedback on my paper „Just War and Human Rights: Towards an institutional concept of Jus in bello“. Next topic: legitimate defense against seagulls. #poltheory

Exhausted but very happy. My PhD thesis on „The Political Philosophy of State Recognition“ ist finally done. I‘m grateful to all the friends and colleagues who supported me on the way. And I am very much looking forward to doing nothing for the next few days. #PolTheory

Happy Halloween! Zur Feier des Tages hier ein idyllischer Shot aus dem Remake von Resident Evil 4. (Ja, es ist so gut, wie alle sagen!)

Currently teaching Walzer‘s Just and Unjust Wars. The book holds up remarkably well despite fundamental changes in modern warfare. Walzer is also an interesting example of an analytical philosopher who heavily relies on historical context.
