Gianfranco Soldati (University of Fribourg)
My main philosophical interests lie between phenomenology and analytic philosophy. I have spent and intend to spend even more time working on theory of judgement, on the notion of intentionality, on meaning and perception, on bodily consciousness, on normativity and rule-following, on emotion and rationality, and on truth and evidence. Even more than on those topics, I have worked on subjectivity, self-consciousness and egocentric thinking. At Fribourg University I teach contemporary philosophy, mainly metaphysics and epistemology, since 2000. I also have some administrative responsibilities. Since 2004 I am a member of the scientific council of the Swiss National Science Foundation. I was editor of dialectica from 2001 to 2006.
