Astrid Grelz

Doctoral student in Philosophy of Religion specialising in modern European philosophy. In my thesis I examine the correlation between Hans Jonas' reception of ancient philosophy and his philosophical biology.

My bachelor's thesis aimed at uncovering the spatial dimension of Martin Heidegger's concept of the work of art in Der Ursprung des Kunstwerkes (Södertörn University, 2014). In my master's thesis, I argue that Edith Stein's critique of the insufficient discussion of 'mitsein' in Heidegger's Sein und Zeit forms the basis for her social ontology (Södertörn University, 2017).

Research interests include ancient philosophy, phenomenology, aesthetics, critical theory, and contemporary European philosophy.

From 2013 to 2020, I was an editor of the Swedish review Kris och Kritik.
