Se Yong Bae

I received my PhD in Philosophy from the University of Missouri in 2026. I work in philosophy of mind and the mind sciences with a focus on evaluative representation. My dissertation, Emotions, Emotion Concepts, and the Predictive Mind, developed a constructionist predictive processing account of emotion. I am an incoming postdoctoral researcher at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I will participate in the research project The Normativity of Emotions. My current research examines how social cognition influences affective experience and how emotional processes can be assessed over time. My teaching areas include ethics, bioethics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of cognitive science, philosophy of science, and ancient philosophy.
