Research interests

Facundo works mostly in moral psychology, ethics, Kant's practical philosophy, and metaethics.

His research up to now has focused on Kant's views on interepersonal relationships, and what they can teach us both about these relationships and about Kant's thought.

He has also written about the nature of 'final value', and on other figures in the history of philosophy. Facundo is now working on a project on loneliness, shared agency, and morality (and how these relate). You can find more information about Facundo's research on his website.
