Maarten Van Doorn

Maarten van Doorn's research delves into the intricate relationship between digitalization and human cognition. His work uniquely blends empirical studies—focusing on aspects like the biases in our seemingly fallible thinking, misinformation, and motivated reasoning—with philosophical exploration of the assumptions embedded within psychological studies and models of rationality. Van Doorn critically examines both the empirical and normative dimensions of these subjects. Additionally, his academic background fuels his interest in meta-epistemological issues, particularly how the evolutionary and local etiology of our (moral) beliefs influences their normative status. His diverse and insightful approach offers a comprehensive perspective on how digitalization intersects with and impacts human cognitive processes and (moral and non-moral) reasoning.
