Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Graham is well-known internationally for his contributions to social epistemology, in particular his work on testimony. He is a leading epistemologist of his generation, with strong interdisciplinary connections within philosophy and across the evolutionary social sciences. During his stay in Germany, he intends to broaden the scope of his approach to epistemic warrant by addressing questions about the etiological functions of reasoning, heuristics, memory and other cognitive capacities.
