Biography

Felipe De Brigard is a Professor of Philosophy at Duke University whose research focuses on the interplay between memory and imagination. He has explored how episodic memory influences and constrains episodic counterfactual thinking, specifically how this interaction affects the perceived plausibility of imagined counterfactual events. Felipe's work intersects with areas such as cognitive neuroscience, where he examines the differential contributions of episodic and semantic memory in generating various kinds of thought. He has been involved in several notable research projects and has received funding from institutions such as the John Templeton Foundation. His work aims to deepen the understanding of how memory functions in the context of personal experiences and broader reflections on subjective meaning.
