Platonic self-portrait
My interests are philosophy, psychology, comparative religion, history, history of ideas, ethical lifestance education, and possibly even civics, and perhaps education (and the Finnish system of education) more generally. Studying and teaching for as long as I can. Some content in Finnish, but from now on most in English.
