Philosophy (MCMP). From 2007 to 2012 he worked at
Tilburg University, The Netherlands, where he was
Chair in Epistemology and Philosophy of Science and

deliberation, norm emergence, and pluralistic
ignorance), the philosophy and psychology of
reasoning, intertheoretic
relations,
and (imprecise)

also working on the book Bayesian Philosophy of Science (with
Jan Sprenger), which is under contract with Oxford
University Press.
The Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation recently produced a film about me and my work. If you are interested, click here for the English version and here for the German version. For a recent account of my work, click here for the English version and here for the German version. An interview can be found here (English) and here (German). Together with Hannes Leitgeb I am currently teaching a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy. MOOCs in general and our course in particular were recently discussed in Detschlandradio Kultur. Click here to listen to the (German) broadcast. |
