Biography

Mark Textor completed his undergraduate and graduate studies in Hamburg. He has taught at universities in Hamburg, Munich, Bern, and Zurich before joining King’s College London in 2003. Textor published the book "Brentano’s Mind" (Oxford University Press) in 2017 and his latest work, titled "The Disappearance of the Soul: A Turn in Metaphysics" (Oxford University Press, 2021), is an exploration of the German philosopher Hermann Lotze. His research interests extend to 19th and early 20th-century philosophy, particularly focusing on mind and psychology, with special attention to Brentano and Mach.
