I teach philosophy at the University of Athens in Greece. I received my PhD from the University of Pittsburgh, where I worked on practical conflict and rationality.

My later work is in ethics and the philosophy of action, moral psychology and practical reason, and has two strands. In one I argue that our active and rational nature is not intelligible apart from our moral nature. In the other I develop an account of our moral nature as an openness to the other and to the world, drawing on Murdoch's philosophy of attention and on the neo-Aristotelian tradition of virtue.

I am currently writing Moral Growth: Disruption, Attention and Virtue (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming), in which I argue that truth becomes available to us in being transformed by experience rather than in adjusting our judgements in its light, and that refusing to be so changed by another is a form of epistemic injustice.

With Matthew Boyle I co-edited Reason in Nature (Harvard University Press, 2022), essays in honour of John McDowell. With Constantine Sandis I translated Anscombe's Intention into Greek (Crete University Press) and co-edit Bloomsbury's Why Philosophy Matters series.

I have a special philosophical interest in the collapse of ways of living, in plant and animal life, and in the arts, especially film, photography and the novel.
