Philosophy of Information and Communication

Jun. -Prof. Dr. Kristina Liefke

Research interest

My research investigates the philosophical interplay of information and communication. In particular, I am working on a formal, empirically motivated account of how word meaning, communicative context, and agents’ information interact in the determination of mental attitude content (esp. memory and imagination content).

Research areas:

  • Philosophy of language  |  Philosophy of information
  • Formal semantics & pragmatics  |  Logic
  • Ontology

Topics:

  • Experiential attitudes
  • Information-sensitivity  |  Situated interpretation
  • Non-propositional information content
  • Natural language ontology
