Study time and doctorate

Karafyllis began her academic life in 1989 with a degree in biology, from 1991 she studied philosophy as a minor in Erlangen with not always good success. Looking back, Karafyllis sums up: "Accordingly, I fell through the [logic] exam at the first attempt".

Karafyllis moved to Tübingen in 1995 and did his doctorate in biology at the International Center for Ethics in Science (IZEW) at the University of Tübingen . The title of her dissertation is "Renewable raw materials. Technology assessment between the models of growth and sustainability". Technical shortcomings in the study were criticized in reviews. Ludwig Leible states : "Both this type of motive analysis approach and the specific pattern design in motive analysis are only convincing to a limited extent. Motive analysis does not always give the impression that the author has always read all the studies analyzed very carefully."

Assistantship

From 1998 to 2008 Karafyllis taught at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main , where he came into contact with the philosophy of the Frankfurt School and Günter Ropohl , whose assistant she was from 1998 until his retirement in 2004.

During this time Karafyllis worked on the concept of the biofact , which has been received in small parts of philosophy, sociology and art history.

In 2006 she completed her habilitation in philosophy at the University of Stuttgart . The subject of her habilitation thesis was The Phenomenology of Growth. On the philosophy and history of science of productive life between the concepts of nature and technology . The habilitation thesis was not published.

From 2004 to 2008 she temporarily represented Günter Ropohl's previous chair for general technology in Frankfurt am Main. In the winter semester of 2007 she then taught as a visiting professor for at the University of Vienna. During this time she worked on the scientific conception of autism .

From 2008 to 2010 Karafyllis was Professor of Philosophy at the United Arab Emirates University in the United Arab Emirates.

Since August 2010 she has been professor of philosophy with a focus on philosophy of science and technology at the TU Braunschweig. During this time Karafyllis dealt intensively with the cultural technique of cleaning and finally published the groundbreaking work "Cleaning as a Passion" in 2015, in which she advocates the philosophical thesis "Most marriages fail in the bathroom, not in the bedroom".
