Bar Luzon
I am a PhD candidate in philosophy at NYU. My advisors are David Chalmers, Cian Dorr and Michael Strevens. Before coming to NYU, I did my undergraduate degree in philosophy at the Hebrew University. Next year I'll be a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Rutgers. Starting Fall 2025, I'll be an assistant professor of philosophy at MIT.
I work in philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, metaphysics and epistemology. In my dissertation, I'm developing a new causal-historical view of mental content, and argue for this view on the basis of the explanatory and rationalizing role of content. I also write about the asymmetry of metaphysical determination, the nature of vehicles of representation, and the connection between truth and different epistemic notions, such as justification and (higher-order) evidence. You can read more on some of that here.
