Jacob Martin Rump, MA, PhD

Associate Professor

Jacob Rump is a philosopher whose research lies at the intersection of epistemology, theories of meaning and language, and intentionality, with a special interest in artificial intelligence. From an historical perspective, he specializes in the phenomenological tradition and its intersections with the history of analytic philosophy. His research and teaching bring neglected insights from these traditions into dialogue with contemporary concerns, in philosophy and in interdisciplinary contexts.
