Research Focus: <\/strong>My research work lies in the field of Political Philosophy and Ethics, with particular reference to Hannah Arendt. I have engaged extensively with themes such as sovereignty, the legitimacy of a world state, political rights, cosmopolitanism, and revolution, especially as they emerge in the political philosophy of Immanuel Kant. In addition, I also explore literary, artistic, historical and political manifestations of the philosophical problem of Loneliness in contemporary contexts. Beyond the scope of my doctoral work, my academic interests extend to a broader range of literary and philosophical inquiries. Currently, one of my key engagements lie in the Philosophy of work and labor in the present times, particularly in relation to emerging technologies and the evolving structures of global political order.<\/p>\r\n
