Markus Werning ist Professor am Department of Philosophy der Ruhr-Universität Bochum und hat dort den Chair of Philosophy of Language & Cognition inne.
»My agenda is deeply rooted in a naturalistic understanding of philosophy. The overarching goal of my research is to approach questions in the philosophy of language and cognition and related areas with exact theoretical (formal semantics, Bayesianism, computational modelling) and advanced empirical methods (EEG and fMRI). I view these areas of philosophy in continuity with the cognitive sciences
where, in philosophy, emphasis is put on theoretical rigor as well as meta- and
cross-disciplinary aspects.«
