Thomas Netland


Job description

Assistent professor of philosophy with teaching of examen philosophicum as the main task. My research is primarily directed towards questions connected to mind, body, life, and conscioussness at the intersection of phenomenology, philosophy of mind, cognitive science (especially '4E cognition') and philosophy of biology. At the moment I'm working on a project where these perspectives are applied to intoxication and drug addiction.

Other interests include existentialism, philosophy of nature, philosophy of science, and the history of philosophy.
