Mahrad Almotahari

I'm a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. I'm also a member of the Edinburgh Meaning Sciences Group. I used to be an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Illinois, Chicago. I specialize in the philosophy of mind and language, but I'm also interested in metaphysics and the history of philosophy (especially early Islamic thought). 

I received my PhD from MIT. I was an undergraduate at Reed College. (I'm very fond of Portland, Oregon.) Occasionally, I'm a guest at IPM's School of Analytic Philosophy in Tehran. I hope to impose on its hospitality again soon.

For more information about my research, teaching, and personal interests, have a look around.

UPDATE: I'll be on research leave in AY 2026-2027 and won't be responding to requests for supervision (unless you're already one of the PhD students I work with).
