Colin R. Caret

I am an Assistant Professor in the unit of Theoretical Philosophy at Utrecht University. I also contribute quite a lot of teaching to our Human-Centered AI program and I supervise students in philosophy, AI, and HPS. My primary research areas are philosophical logic, epistemology, and philosophy of science. Most of my published work focuses on logical and mathematical pluralism, rational change of view about foundational issues, and the opacity of belief states (ala logical omniscience). I also have a long-standing interest in the unique strains of skepticism and idealism that weave their way through pre-Qin Daoism and early Buddhism. Thanks to my wonderful collaborators, I currently have an Erdős number of 5. You can find a list of my academic publications below and more information about me at PhilPeople.
