Karim Gherab
I have a MSc in theoretical physics (Madrid, 1997) and a PhD in philosophy of science (Madrid, 2004). My research interests focus on Philosophy of Physics, as well as Science and Technology Studies. I have taught history of science at Universidad Autónoma in Madrid and knowledge & technology at the University of the Basque Country in Bilbao.
I have published papers on philosophy of physics and on how digital technology and open access initiatives are shaping scientific communication practices. I am co-author of the book El Templo del Saber: Hacia la Biblioteca Digital Universal, recently published in English as The New Temple of Knowledge: Towards a Universal Digital Library (The University Press, Common Ground Publishing, 2009). I am also coordinating a forthcoming monograph in the periodical Arbor, entitled Science and Culture on the Web.

Erik Rietveld
Erik is fascinated by the fact that in many situations in our daily lives we act adequately, yet unreflectively. For instance, we effortlessly maintain an appropriate distance from the other people in an elevator, or without deliberation stop the pedestrian next to us, who, while about to cross the street, does not notice an oncoming car. Often we just act, and normally this immediate action is appropriate.
The overall aim of his post-doc research project at Harvard University is to contribute to a better understanding of such adequate unreflective action. He approaches this phenomenon primarily from a philosophical perspective, but one that is open to interaction with psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Issues he works on concern the nature of intentionality, normativity, freedom, and responsiveness to affordances in episodes of unreflective action.
As part of his PhD-research project at the University of Amsterdam (UvA, 2003-2008), Erik studied cognitive science at the UvA and was a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley’s Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute and Philosophy Department in 2005 and 2006. Since 2006 he has been part of Rietveld Landscape, an ambitious studio for landscape architecture that was founded by his brother and landscape architect Ronald Rietveld (see www.rietveldlandscape.com). Erik Rietveld is a member of the European Science Foundation’s ‘Eurocores’ project ‘Consciousness in a Natural and Cultural Context’. His papers have been accepted for publication by journals such as Inquiry, Theory & Psychology and Mind.

Sebastian Schleidgen
I am a PhD Student at the Interdepartmental Centre for Ethics in the Sciences and Humanities (IZEW) at the University of Tübingen (Germany), and a Fellow in Philosophy at Harvard in 2009-2010.
My primary research areas are in Normative Ethics, Meta-Ethics, Political Philosophy, Action and Decision Theory. In addition to my dissertation on “The Role of the Precautionary Principle for Implementing Sustainable Development,” I am especially interested in the relationship of descriptive and normative statements.

Philipp Michelus
My primary research areas are in ethics and phenomenology. I am particularly interested in contemporary Kantian ethical theory, current research in Moral Psychology and, last but not least, Heidegger’s unwritten ethics. My doctoral research focuses on a Kantian theory of the sources of normativity as well as on questions of how a phenomenological understanding of self-consciousness modulates these sources.
Taking advantage of being in an Anglo-American country, I finally want to understand the roots and the development of the split between the so-called analytic and continental branches of philosophy. |
