Auke Montessori

I am a Philosopher specializing in Epistemology and Philosophy of Mind. My focus is on what it means to understand one's evidence and how this shapes what one ought to believe. Such evidence includes mental states, testimony and deductive evidence. I also apply this research to matters concerning science-resistance, social epistemology and AI.  I completed my PhD at Washington University in St. Louis, where I have taught as a solo instructor and teaching assistant. My dissertation work was supervised by Matthew McGrath and Casey O'Callaghan. I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Glasgow University.
