理论哲学方向博士研究员

The Department of Philosophy at Stockholm University is the largest in Sweden, with vibrant research groups in a wide range of philosophical disciplines. The department has a strong international profile: we frequently host internationally prominent colloquium speakers and other visitors, and we are involved in numerous international and national networks and research projects. In theoretical philosophy, examples would be the department's Centre for Logic, Language and Mind (CLLAM) , research projects such as Modeling as a method of philosophy or The Mechanization of Philosophy between the 14th and 16th century , the interdisciplinary research program on Knowledge Resistance (funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond), the interdisciplinary Centre for Medieval Studies, as well as networks such as PLM , the Nordic Network for Philosophy of Physics , the Scandinavian Logic Society , and the European Society for Ancient Philosophy. Stockholm University has repeatedly selected philosophy as one of its leading research areas. Subject area The thesis work will be conducted within theoretical philosophy. Theoretical philosophy includes epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, logic, philosophy of language, philosophy of science, as well as the history of philosophy.
