We are interested in the philosophy of mind and perception as well as metaphysics more broadly, including the topics of causation, the philosophy of time and the philosophy of mathematics.

Research into the philosophy of mind and perception is a significant strength for our Department. We have a large group working in this area covering a range of issues concerning the proper characterisation of phenomenological states such as perception, imagination, episodic memory, the emotions and self-consciousness.

Our interests include the classification of mental phenomena - such as the senses - and areas of psychology and psychiatry. We also have work that draws from more straightforwardly metaphysical issues such as the nature of colour or causation.

We particularly enjoy applying insights from the history of philosophy, including the phenomenological tradition, to contemporary philosophical questions. This close interaction between historical and contemporary approaches is a distinctive feature of our research.
