My researches concern the history of medieval philosophy in general,
focusing on early scholasticism and its natural theology and semantics. I am also interested in issues related to information society and communication technology.
(PC & Networking technology
and practice.)
I lectured medieval philosophy to philosophy undergraduates at the University of Szeged, and
pursued PhD studies in analitic philosophy at Eötvös Loránd University
under the supervision of
Prof. János Kelemen.
As the head of informatics at the
Institute for Philosophical Research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences,
I also work as system administrator (supervisor) of
its internet
domain.
