Carlos Andrés Segovia

Carlos Andrés Segovia y Corral, 2nd Marquis of Salobreña (born 22 May 1970), is a Spanish nobleman and academic specialising in philosophy and religious studies.
Segovia y Corral is an independent philosopher and scholar, formerly (between 2013 and 2020) associate professor of religious studies at Saint Louis University in Madrid, Spain, and currently lecturer in philosophy at that same university.
While over the past ten years he has mostly worked on late-antique religion (with special emphasis on the intertwining of group-identity markers, sectarian boundaries, discursive strategies, and more generally the conceptualisation of hybridity and ambiguity in religious origins, as a means to counter present-day religious fundamentalism, ethnocentrism, and xenophobia), Segovia y Corral's current research focuses instead on post-nihilism and meta-conceptuality at the crossroads of ontology, epistemology, modal philosophy, and the philosophy of mythology, with special emphasis on early Greek thought, Plato, Fichte, Nietzsche, the later Heidegger, and French structuralism and its marginalia against the backdrop of contemporary discussions on determinacy, indeterminacy, compossibility, and worlding. He is also series co- editor of Apocalypticism: Cross-disciplinary Explorations at Peter Lang.
Segovia y Corral is the author of numerous scholarly books and articles, including the monographs Dionysus and Apollo after Nihilism: Rethinking the Earth–World Divide, Immanence and the Sacred, The Quranic Noah and the Making of the Islamic Prophet: A Study of Intertextuality and Religious Identity Formation in Late Antiquity, and The Quranic Jesus: A New Interpretation; the edited journal topical issues Conceptual Personae in Ontology and From Worlds of Possibles to Possible Worlds: On Post-nihilism and Dwelling; the edited volume Remapping Emergent Islam: Texts, Social Settings, and Ideological Trajectories; and articles such as "Spinoza as Savage Thought," "Post-Heideggerian Drifts: From Object-Oriented-Ontology Worldlessness to Post-Nihilist Worldings," "Earth and World(s): From Heidegger's Fourfold to Contemporary Anthropology," "Rethinking Dionnysus and Apollo: Redrawing Today's Philosophical Board," "Guattari \ Heidegger: On Quaternities, Deterritorialisation and Worlding", "From Worlds of Possibles to Possible Worlds – or, Dionysus and Apollo after Nihilism," "Paul and the Plea for Contingency in Contemporary Philosophy: A Philosophical and Anthropological Critique," "Tupi or Not Tupi – That is the Question: On Semiocannibalism, Its Variants, and their Logics," "Impromptu: The Alien – Heraclitus's Cut," "Fire in Three Images, from Heraclitus to the Anthropocene," "Four Cosmopolitical Ideas for an Unworlded World," "The New Animism: Experimental, Isomeric, Liminal, and Chaosmic," and "Rethinking Death's Sacredness: From Heraclitus's frag. DK B62 to Robert Gardner's Dead Birds"; also writes regularly about philosophy at polymorph.blog.
