Alexander GreenbergUniversity of Cambridge
Alexander Greenberg is a PhD student and research associate on the New Directions in the Study of the Mind project. His research is on the intersection of psychological, epistemological, and normative questions about the attitudes, and in particular belief, defending the claim that belief is subject to a truth norm on the basis that it explains our pre-theoretical judgements about which beliefs are justified and why. His post-PhD research will involve investigating how to unify the varieties of responsibility we have for our actions and attitudes. |
Sophie KeelingUniversity of Southampton
Sophie Keeling is a PhD student at the University of Southampton. Her research concerns self-knowledge and covers topics in the philosophy of mind, epistemology, and psychology. She hopes to defend the claim that self-knowledge significantly differs from other-knowledge by reconsidering those cases that have been used to argue against it – instances of self-ignorance and error. She is particularly interested in the thought that any difference between the two results from non-epistemic features such as our responsibility for our attitudes and rational requirements for self-knowledge. |
Marie Van LoonUniversity of Basel
Marie van Loon is a PhD student working within the Cognitive Irrationality SNSF-Professorship project. Her research focuses on responsibility for irrational beliefs. She seeks to define what grounds responsibility for certain types of irrational beliefs, such as self-deceptive beliefs. She also aims at elucidating undefined phenomena such as cognitive biases by asking whether they qualify as irrational and whether they are the kind of thing for which one may be held responsible. She is writing her thesis under the supervision of Prof. Anne Meylan (University of Basel) and Prof. Fabrice Teroni (University of Geneva). |
