RESEARCH
I focus on topics concerning social cognition at the intersection of philosophy, psychology, and AI. Currently, I am primarily interested in the question of how a philosophical framework can capture the varieties of phenomena concerning social cognition. To this end, I question whether standard notions might be too restrictive and examine to what extent so-called minimal approaches can contribute to a solution. One might call my position INBETWEENISM describing phenomena for which we have no notions yet. In addition, I investigate to what extent artificial systems may qualify as a new type of social agents.
Having an interdisciplinary background, I am convinced that empirically informed philosophy enables us to pose new questions and offer new answers.
