Tobias Endres

I am Feodor Lynen Research Scholar of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the École normale supérieure Paris as well as Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer at TU Braunschweig. I currently work on the philosophy of Henri Bergson in light of a philosophy of form and technology and in respect of new developments on philosophical realism. Much of my past research was concerned with the role of symbols, symbolism and symbol formation for perceiving, representing, and understanding the world. My main philosophical interests, hence, lie at the intersection of theories of knowledge and mind as well as phenomelogy, anthropology and theories of culture and life. I specialize in the works of Ernst Cassirer, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Henri Bergson. I also have interests in Classical German Philosophy, (Post-) Analytic Philosophy and Intercultural Philosophy.
