Thematic Reference Fields
- Stoicism (classical & applied) – conceptual reconstruction, systematic ordering, contemporary re-contextualization
- Self-Leadership & Inner Governance – decision logics, perspectival guidance, personal frameworks of order
- Affects & Evaluation – analysis of stimulus–interpretation–response chains, emotional contextualization
- Ethics & Normative Frameworks – standards of orientation, responsibility logic, practical consequence

Working Method
The work follows an ordering-analytical curatorial principle: concepts are precisely defined, contexts are consistently distinguished, and interpretations are carefully derived. Primary sources form the reference frame, while secondary readings are explicitly situated. Not instructional, but structuring; not motivational, but framework-setting.
