Sven Rosenkranz
Assistant Professor, Freie Universität Berlin

and

Associate Research Fellow of Arché, The University of St. Andrews

Sven became an Assistant Professor at the Freie Universität Berlin, in October 2000, after one year as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Instituto de Investigaciones Filosóficas (UNAM), México. He was awarded his PhD from the University of St. Andrews in September 1999. His main research interests are in epistemology, metaphysics and philosophy of mind and language. He is particularly interested in realism, objectivity, truth, understanding, the epistemology of logic, vagueness, metaethics and the limits of thought (if any). He is currently writing his second PhD (what goes by the name 'Habilitation') which explores agnosticism as a third stance within philosophical debates about our cognitive limits. In September 2003 Sven became an Associate Research Fellow of Arché, where he joins the vagueness project.
