Projects

  1. Norms and Nature of Acceptance. I run this project together with Alexander Dings (Düsseldorf) since late 2023, funded by the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft). We will be looking at the concept of acceptance and its role in epistemology, decision theory and the philosophy of language. You find the project’s webpage here.
  2. The Epistemic Network Project. This is a project in social epistemology where I work together with Sergiu Spatan. It is funded by the State of Saxony. More details including a webpage are coming soon.
  3. The Disruptivity of Outsiders in Urban Transformations. This is an interdisziplinary project together with Stefan Scherbaum (psychology) and Marc Wolfram (transformation studies). It looks at the role of epistemic outsiders for transformative processes such as decarbonization. This is the project’s webpage
  4. The project Knowledge and Decision was funded by the DFG as part of the Emmy-Noether program from 2016–22. This is the project’s webpage. The project was located at the interface of epistemology and decision theory. Its ultimate goal is to devise an integrated theory of theoretical and practical rationality. Epistemologically, it takes up the recent trend to reassign the concept of knowledge a fundamental role. I plan on getting a book out of this project’s results.
