Philip Mills is postdoctoral researcher at the University of Lausanne (CH) in French literature and a member of the project "Poetry in Notions". He completed his PhD in Philosophy on Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and poetics at Royal Holloway, University of London. His first book, A Poetic Philosophy of Language: Nietzsche and Wittgenstein’s Expressivism (Bloomsbury, 2022), elaborates a philosophy of language that can account for poetic phenomena. His current research approaches poetry from within the framework of ordinary language philosophy (Wittgenstein, Austin, Cavell) and analyses ordinary practices at play in contemporary French poetry.
