Joe Cunningham

I'm an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Nottingham. Previously, I held a number of teaching posts at Nottingham and Oxford, and I was an Early Career Fellow at Warwick's Institute of Advanced Study. I completed my doctoral thesis The Remit of Reasons at Warwick in March 2016, written on the nature of rationalising explanation. I hold an MPhil.Stud from UCL (2008-2010) and a BA in Philosophy from Heythrop College, London (2005-2008).

My research focuses on how Anti-Individualism in the Philosophy of Mind can help shed light on problems in the theories of agency, normativity, and moral psychology. For example, in my doctoral work I develop a disjunctive account of responding to reasons. And my recent work focuses on how an Anti-Individualist approach can help shed light on authenticity, autonomy, and integrity.
