Tony Cheng

I am an assistant professor at NCCU Department of Philosophy, Taiwan. I am also affiliated with Research Center for Mind, Brain and Learning, and directing Center for Phenomenology, at the same school. I am halfway through a MSc degree of Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health from Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience at King's College London. I primarily work on the subjective, the objective, and the relation between them. My entry points are the senses and consciousness, as they mediate varieties of minds and the world. The general framework is Oxford Kantianism, initiated by P. F. Strawson and Gareth Evans, and was later taken up by John McDowell, Quassim Cassam, Naomi Eilan, and Anil Gomes, amongst others. What's distinctive about my approach is that I incorporate resources from phenomenology and cognitive sciences into this Kantian framework. Another way to describe my research is that I attempt to understand how transcendental, phenomenological, and empirical psychology can mesh with one another.
