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, [1] 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 contemporary philosophyalong three intersecting axes: (a) the remaking of theory beyond the conceptual limits of Speculative Realism and New Materialism as a prolegomenon to a new critique of pure reason, by means of recombining ontology, modal philosophy, and the philosophy of mythology in neo-structuralist terms in dialogue with Heidegger's, Lévi-Strauss's, and Roy Wagner's chiastic ways of thinking; (b) the reworking of a philosophy of the event and the singular beyond poststructuralist dogmatics, in dialogue, in turn, with the formal and ontological developments of the last Guattari; and (c) the inquiry into the conceptual limits of practical reason through a reassessment of ancient-Greek isnonomia, Pierre Clastres’s political anthropology, and Kant’s and Hegel’s political philosophies. He is also series co- editor of Apocalypticism: Cross-disciplinary Explorations at Peter Lang.[2]

Segovia y Corral is the author of numerous scholarly books and articles, including the monographs Immanence and the Sacred,[3] The Quranic Noah and the Making of the Islamic Prophet: A Study of Intertextuality and Religious Identity Formation in Late Antiquity,[4] and The Quranic Jesus: A New Interpretation;[5] the edited volume Remapping Emergent Islam: Texts, Social Settings, and Ideological Trajectories;[6] and articles such as "Spinoza as Savage Thought," [7] "Post-Heideggerian Drifts: From Object-Oriented-Ontology Worldlessness to Post-Nihilist Worldings," [8] “Earth and World(s): From Heidegger’s Fourfold to Contemporary Anthropology,” [9] "Rethinking Dionnysus and Apollo: Redrawing Today's Philosophical Board," [10] "From Worlds of Possibles to Possible Worlds," [11] "Paul and the Plea for Contingency in Contemporary Philosophy: A Philosophical and Anthropological Critique," [12] "Tupi or Not Tupi – That is the Question: On Semiocannibalism, Its Variants, and their Logics," [13] "Impromptu: The Alien – Heraclitus's Cut," [14] "Fire in Three Images, from Heraclitus to the Anthropocene," [15] "Four Cosmopolitical Ideas for an Unworlded World," [16] "The New Animism: Experimental, Isomeric, Liminal, and Chaosmic," [17] and "Rethinking Death’s Sacredness: From Heraclitus’s frag.
