Biography
Thomas is a doctoral researcher at the Department of Philosophy and Moral Sciences of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. He currently researches the political thought and early reception of Spinoza’s Tractatus Theologico-Politicus. By combining philosophy and history, the relationship between critique and political freedom is elaborated, which involves Spinoza's concept of the freedom to philosophize. Further interests include early modern philosophy, radical social and political theory, and relational and materialist thought. Thomas holds degrees in philosophy, economics, and education, as well as in baroque and modern violin.
