Jesse J. Prinz
Jesse J. Prinz Distinguished Professor, City University of New York, Graduate Center Director, Interdisciplinary Committee for Science Studies, CUNY, Graduate Center I work primarily in the philosophy of psychology, broadly construed. I am interested in how the mind works. I think philosophical accounts of the mental can be fruitfully informed by findings from psychology, the neurosciences, anthropology, and related fields. My theoretical convictions are unabashedly empiricist. I hope to resuscitate core claims of British Empiricism against the backdrop of contemporary philosophy of mind and cognitive science.
