معرفی
Dr. Michaël Bauwens is an affiliated researcher in Historical Theology at ETF Leuven and a doctoral assistant in philosophy at the University of Antwerp. His work bridges metaphysics, theology, and social ontology, exploring themes like institutional theory, divine providence, and medieval philosophical traditions. He holds a PhD from KU Leuven (2018), where he also earned multiple degrees in philosophy with distinction.
Research interests include the metaphysics of social reality, theological anthropology, and the intersection of economics with theological concepts like purgatory. His work often engages thinkers like Duns Scotus and Aquinas, applying medieval insights to modern debates in environmental ethics and social ontology.
Recent publications analyze the ontology of institutions, the Eucharist’s spousal metaphors, and the ethical dimensions of fittingness. His 2024 papers on social sciences’ metaphysical foundations and 2023 work on Anselm’s argument in Mariology exemplify his interdisciplinary approach.
No scientific awards are explicitly noted in the text. Teaching experience includes philosophy tutoring at KU Leuven’s faculties of Sciences and Law, alongside collaborative research roles.
He has not been associated with specific labs or teams, though his research often intersects with institutional and philosophical theology networks.
