Research interests
Edvard Lia is a PhD Fellow in Religious Studies/Theology/Philosophy. His PhD project, tentatively titled The Phenomenon of Breath: An Existential Interpretation of Respiratory Facts, explores the philosophy of breathing with Hans Jonas as the primary philosophical interlocutor.
Lia's MA Thesis in English Literature from 2023, titled Political Forms of Infinity in Contemporary Ecopoetry and Ecofiction: Why We Read in a Time of Crisis, articulates literature's political efficacy for responding to the ecological crisis by drawing on Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's concept of true infinity.
His general research interests include Hegel's philosophy, eco-Marxism, the phenomenological tradition, in addition to a range of other thinkers in post-Kantian philosophy.
