I am a professor of philosophy at the Central European University in Budapest.
I work in the philosophy of mind. I have attempted to address questions about the most general nature, or essence, of the human mind, and about the place of the mind in the rest of nature. A short description of my philosophical interests is here. A short CV is here. |
