My research focuses on an intercultural history of philosophy in the Eurasian space. Within this framework, I examine the relationship between philosophy and religion, with a focus on philosophical anthropology. Reflection on the human being and the human condition acquires new meaning today in light of developments and prospects in the fields of artificial intelligence and biotechnology. Transhumanism, as an ideal, brings the humanities and the technological sciences together in an interdisciplinary way.
