About
I hold an MA in Philosophy from the University of Warsaw, with a thesis on the grammar of faith in Ludwig Wittgenstein’s thought; my BA thesis dealt with non-duality in Buddhist philosophy.
I’m interested in what speakers are doing when they talk about what, on their own account, cannot be said: from apophatic negation to hinge propositions and the status of religious belief. I read Buddhist and Hindu sources in Sanskrit.
Since 2024 I’ve worked in the Control Tower team at Inter IKEA Purchasing Services Poland, where I handle outbound transport from the Dortmund distribution centre complex and build analytical tools in Power BI and Excel/VBA.
Research
Doctoral project
The Paradox of Ineffability: Apophatic Language in Religion and Wittgenstein’s Philosophy
The project examines apophatic strategies in the Christian via negativa (Pseudo-Dionysius, Eckhart), Buddhist Madhyamaka (Nāgārjuna) and Advaita Vedānta (neti neti) from the perspective of the later Wittgenstein. Its central thesis is that apophatic language does not describe an ineffable object but transforms the speaking subject. Sanskrit serves direct work with the primary sources.
