Luca Moretti
I'm a Reader at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Aberdeen, a Visiting Professor at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, and a member of the Research Group From Perception to Belief and Back Again of the University of Bochum (Germany).
My current areas of investigation are
general epistemology, social epistemology, philosophy
of education, philosophical logic and metaphysics.
Biography
I graduated with an MLitt in Logic &
Metaphysics from St Andrews in 1998 and with a PhD in
Philosophy from King's College London in 2003.
After my graduation with a PhD, I had
teaching positions at University College London and
King's College London. I also did research in formal
epistemology at the Zukunftskolleg of the University
of Konstanz (Germany) and research in metaphysics and
philosophical logic at the Centre for Time of the
University of Sydney.
My first Lectureship was at La Trobe
University (Melbourne), which I left for Aberdeen in
2009. I was a member of the steering committee of the
Northern Institute of Philosophy at Aberdeen till
March 2013. I have been a Visiting Professor at the
Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy since August
2014. I have been a member of the Research Group From
Perception to Belief and Back Again since
September 2019.
