Luis de Miranda lives near Stockholm, Sweden. He is a philosophical practitioner, trained in applied continental philosophy, the history of ideas, and psychoanalysis, who came to academia after a career as an independent author and publisher in Paris. He is a researcher at Uppsala University, where he currently works on the theory and practice of philosophical health at the Center for Medical Humanities. His PhD (University of Edinburgh) is a modern genealogy of the concept of esprit de corps (France, UK, USA) and was the groundwork for his book Ensemblance (Edinburgh University Press). In his research strategies, he tends to combine historical, empirical and speculative approaches, such as in his essay Being and Neonness (MIT Press). Luis de Miranda blogs at Crealectics.com.
