Summary

---

   I have recently obtained a second PhD title in Philosophy from University of Texas at Austin​ with a thesis on supererogation.
  My philosophical graduate studies have started in Europe, where I was studying mainly Gottlob Frege's work, involving a combination of Philosophy of Language, Philosophy of Mathematics and History of Early Analytic Philosophy. The result was a first PhD thesis about Frege's definition of number. 

  My philosophical interests have taken a different turn these days, as I am working mainly in Metaethics, specifically in problems regarding the concept of supererogation (moral actions that go beyond duty, usually attributed to saints and heroes).  Some of the questions I am interested in are, in a rough formulation,  'how can morally good actions that go beyond duty be (best) explained?' and 'why are we not allowed to demand some morally excellent actions?'
