Hi, I’m Jacob.
I hold a BA in Philosophy and I recently finished my Master of Research (MRes) in Philosophy with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. My research thesis explores the experiential structures of meaning in life through a phenomenological analysis of art, passion, love, and friendship.
Below you will find a partial list of things I have written for various publications.
