Erich Rast, Ph.D.

I'm working as a postdoctoral researcher in philosophy and logic from 2008-2024. From February 2025 onwards, I'll be on vacation and later will do something else. However, the plan is to continue to work on philosophical problems as time permits. Currently, I'm investigating the modeling of theories, thruthlikeness, and the role of epistemic value in theory revision.

Past publications concern formal value theory, linguistic context sensitivity of evaluative language use, specific problems in formal ethics & decision making, problems of indexicality and essential indexicals, indexical and nonindexical context dependence (contextualism vs. relativism), the Knowledge Argument and qualia, interpretation as inference to the best explanation, categorial grammar, intensional type theory, and concepts.
