I also have a research focus on social epistemology, especially, peer disagreement and testimony. My research in the philosophy of science focuses on theories of confirmation, causation and explanatory and systematic power. In the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind, I am interested&nbsp;in theories of representation and, especially, the interface between perception, language, and belief. One particular aim of my research in these areas is to bring together traditional topics in epistemology and philosophy of science with recent approaches in cognitive science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#8dae10\"><strong>Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rational Models of Cognition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Probability Theory<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Logic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#8dae10\"><strong>Master theses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Possible topics for Master projects in the department of <em><em>Philosophy of Perception and Knowledge<\/em><\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Skilled Action and Performative Expertise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Epistemology of Memory<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Epistemology of Perception\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Epistemology of Reasoning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inferential Role Semantics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Concept Learning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tranformative Experiences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Almost everything in epistemology\/general philosophy of science.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of previously supervised theses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A Solution of the Complex-First-Paradox (2016)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#8dae10\"><strong>Website<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/peterbroessel.wordpress.com\/\">click here<\/a> to find out more about the department of <i>Philosophy of Perception and Knowledge <\/i> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#8dae10\"><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jun. -Prof. Dr. Peter Br\u00f6ssel Research interest My research interests are in&nbsp;epistemology, philosophy of science&nbsp;and at the intersection of the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind.
