I am a philosopher. I deal with the philosophy of cognitive science and epistemology. My current research addresses the normative and epistemological commitments of Bayesian research frameworks such as Predictive Processing and and the Free energy principle (FEP). In addition, I deal with folk psychological beliefs and the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Currently, I am employed as a associate professor in the Department of Epistemology and Cognitive Science at the Institute of Philosophy of the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw. Also I am the vice director of the Institute of Philosophy and vice dean for education.
I am a member of the board of the Avant Association. I also cooperate with the journals "Avant" (http://avant.edu.pl/en/) and "Studia Philosophiae Christiane" (https://czasopisma.uksw.edu.pl/index.php/spch).
