AY
lives in London where he's currently finishing a PhD applying Heidegger's philosophy to humor. He's also a theater director and producer who specializes in doing odd shows in weird spaces—his most critically acclaimed show being an opera in an Ikea store.

Answers for Aristotle: How Science and Philosophy Can Lead Us to A More Meaningful Life
