Biography

Kevin Reuter is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Gothenburg, specializing in theoretical philosophy. He previously held positions as an SNSF Eccellenza Professor at the University of Zurich and a Lecturer at the University of Bern. His earlier academic journey includes postdoctoral work at the University of Bochum and a PhD from the University of London. His research interests intersect philosophy, mind, language, science, and experimental philosophy. He engages in projects that merge philosophical analysis with empirical corpus-linguistic methods, particularly addressing challenges to conventional understandings of emotion attribution and pain. His recent investigations revolve around the ambiguity of 'truth' in empirical discourse and propose frameworks for improved public reasoning. Reuter also explores concepts of salience and similarity within reasoning, integrating philosophical and empirical approaches that extend across health, pain, and conspiracy theory. Currently, he prepares to teach undergraduate and master’s level courses on epistemology and philosophy of language.
