Drawing Out Peirce

Gareth Abrahams is a leading scholar in the relationship between philosophy and spatial theory. His unique approach draws together a detailed and intricate reading of philosophical texts with over 10-years’ industry experience working as a practising architect. He has published extensively in the field of philosophy and its relation to architecture, art, and planning. This includes a monograph with Routledge and articles in Deleuze and Guattari Studies. By using a range of diagrams and detailed design drawings to help navigate and engage with these links, his work provides fresh insight into some of the most abstract concepts in Continental and American philosophy. Gareth gained his PhD from the University of Cardiff and currently works as an Associate Professor at the University of Liverpool.
