I am a professor and University Research Chair at the Department of Philosophy of the VU Amsterdam. I am also a Professorial Fellow at Arché in St. Andrews (2019-2024). I am currently running the ERC Consolidator project 'The Social Epistemology of Argumentation' (2018-2023). I am an associate editor for Analysis, and a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW).
My monograph The Dialogical Roots of Deduction won the 2022 Lakatos Award.
My main fields of research are history and philosophy of logic, philosophy of mathematics, and social epistemology. I also have general interests in medieval philosophy, philosophy of psychology and cognitive science, general philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, philosophy of technology, issues pertaining to gender and race, and empirically-informed approaches to philosophy in general.
Here is the text of my inaugural lecture, where I explain my conception of philosophy and describe my intellectual trajectory. Here is a video of the lecture (it starts with an introduction in Dutch by the dean, but the lecture itself is in English).
