Claudius studied philosophy and political science in Leipzig, Málaga, and Berlin. His research interests lie in political philosophy and social philosophy, as well as political economy, with a particular focus on the theory of money. Within the ERC project, Claudius works on developing a social-philosophical foundation for a reflexive debt theory. With his contribution, he aims to uncover the normative structures constituting the social relations of credit/debt and to explore how debt governance is inevitably linked to questions of sustainable finance, justice, and political legitimacy.
