Epistemology and Philosophy of Science: Prof. Dr. Stephan Hartmann SD

Stephan Hartmann is regarded as one of the leading scholars in the fields of formal epistemology and philosophy of science, and he became a member of the Faculty of Philosophy at LMU last October. In 2012, he received the Alexander von Humboldt Professorship, Germanys most generously endowed prize for distinguished contributions to research, that brought him back to the land of his birth. Stephan Hartmann now holds the Chair of Philosophy of Science at LMUs Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) and, together with his colleague Hannes Leitgeb, who occupies the Chair of Logic and Philosophy of Language and also holds a Humboldt Professorship, he is actively engaged in extending the interdisciplinary reach of his subject in often surprising directions. The basic goal of the MCMP is to apply advanced mathematical methods to a range of complex philosophical problems. Hartmann is the fourth Humboldt Professor at LMU. The honor had previously been accorded to systems biologist Ulrike Gaul, astrophysicist Georgi Dvali and Hannes Leitgeb.
