I’m a PhD-Student at the University of Bern and a member of the SNF-project Explaining Human Nature: Empirical and Ideological Dimensions. I’m also an associated member of the Zurich Epistemology Group on Rationality. From January to June 2023 I was a recognised visiting student at the University of Oxford, visiting with Prof. Neil Levy.
The topic of my PhD-project is social epistemic norms and their evolution. Social & applied epistemologists have recently begun to make use of social norms in their theorizing of a variety of phenomena. In parallel there exists an empirical literature on the evolution of cooperation, culture, and normativity…
I’m a PhD-Student at the University of Bern and a member of the SNF-project Explaining Human Nature: Empirical and Ideological Dimensions. I’m also an associated member of the Zurich Epistemology Group on Rationality. From January to June 2023 I was a recognised visiting student at the University of Oxford, visiting with Prof. Neil Levy.
The topic of my PhD-project is social epistemic norms and their evolution. Social & applied epistemologists have recently begun to make use of social norms in their theorizing of a variety of phenomena. In parallel there exists an empirical literature on the evolution of cooperation, culture, and normativity that heavily relies on social norms. Although there are some exceptions, there’s only been little exchange between the two fields. The PhD-project aims to synthesize these as of yet dispersed insights to advance debates in social epistemology and the evolution of cooperation, culture and normativity.
