 Research interests: Metaphilosophy, Philosophy of Language, Epistemology, Wittgenstein
I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Reading and a Fellow in Philosophy at Harvard. My doctoral thesis offers an account of the role of scientism & anti-scientism in Wittgenstein's philosophy, and puts forward a critique of scientism through developing arguments by the later Wittgenstein and Hilary Putnam.
When I'm not doing philosophy, I play guitar in Harvard's Dudley House Jazz Band (www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ58H_6Wjgs). |

 Amador Muriel, has returned to academia after twenty-five years of European information technology consultancies, all the while pursuing a personal program of research on turbulence, hosted intermittently at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Max Planck Institute for Complex Systems in Dresden, and CERN.
His company, based in Geneva, has funded his research on turbulence, culminating in a book, (Muriel, Quantum Nature of Turbulence, Nova Scientific Publishers, New York, 2010), to be followed in 2013 by a more definitive Quantum Theory of Turbulence. The books reprint refereed papers from European journals -- Physica A, Physica D, Physics Letters A -- and American journals -- Physical Review and Physical Review Letters.
At the time, Muriel felt that no funding agency would support his ideas on turbulence. But encouraged by his results, Muriel decided to retire from industry and pursue an academic career, starting with visiting appointments at Columbia University and Harvard University. At Harvard, he found an exact solution to the 3D Navier-Stokes equation, invited, refereed and published as the inaugural paper of Results in Physics, 2 (2011). It is yet to be vetted by the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society for candidacy for the Millenium Prize of the Clay Institute of Mathematics. But from the physics perspective, the paper is already quite useful in continuing his research program. He will use his last two signicant papers (A.Muriel, An Exact Solution to the 3D Navier Stokes Equation, Results in Physics, 2 [2011] and “A New Insight on Irreversibility,” to appear in Physics Letters A) to work on “Time Evolution of Many-Body Gravitational System,” with emphasis on the presence of dark matter.
Over the last three years at the Philosophy Department, Muriel has published three major papers:
(1) "An Exact Solution to the 3D Navier-Stokes Equation," Results in Physics, 2 (2011)
(2) "Reversibility and Irreversibility," Physics Letters A (2013)
(3) "Spectroscopy of Turbulent Carbon Dioxide Gas," International Journal of Spectroscopy, 2013
(1) and (2) resolve 200-year old problems in physics.
(3) is a major contribution to the study of turbulence, a complete paradigm shift.
You will need a Harvard PIN and ID to access the first two articles, or please contact Professor Muriel for copies.

 I am a Ph.D. in Philosophy and a trained Neuropsychologist interested in building an empirical approach to the phenomenology of personal identity. My research projects focus on the sense of self in patients with cognitive or bodily massive disabilities (demented patients, locked-in patients respectively). As an interdisciplinary project, this work has both a philosophical and an ethical goal: A.) to better understand the nature of the processes involved in forming and maintaining the sense of self; and B.) to improve the quality of life in patients with a feeling of alienation due to their pathology. |

 Research interests: Intersections of Ethics and Metaphysics, Classical American Philosophy, and Aesthetics
I am a post-doc Visiting Fellow & a Fulbright Scholar from the University of Tampere, Finland. My work centers on the intersections of American and Continental thought, including classical authors (especially R.W. Emerson and Nietzsche) as well as contemporary thinkers (e.g. Cavell and Rorty). Thematically, I'm interested in the relationship between the self and the world and how our encounters with reality may turn out to have ethical underpinnings. Currently, I'm working on splitting a large manuscript on the philosophy of Emerson into two books, both of which are planned for publication in the U.S.
Interests beyond philosophy under occasional cultivation in Cambridge: playing badminton, playing the drums, going to see old films & listening to classical music. |
