Theoretical philosophy is traditionally concerned with the topic of knowledge or (rational) cognition, its definition, reach, but also its limits.  In our research group, while acknowledging this tradition, we construe “theoretical philosophy” more broadly, to include the fields of culture, science, language, lifeworld, and history (among others).  We study theseas topics of philosophical reflection “post-split.”  

Always historically minded, we are especially interested in the movements of Classical German Philosophy, German Idealism, Neo-Kantianism, Phenomenology and Hermeneutics, American Pragmatism and the Philosophy of Mind.  We seek to promote topics of interest through regular conferences and workshops, so check back for announcements on these pages!
