About
I'm Chris Ranalli, an Assistant Professor of Philosophy (tenured) at
VU Amsterdam
.
My research is primarily in epistemology.
My recent work includes
What's so bad about Echo chambers?
and
Closed-minded Belief and Indoctrination
.
Recently, I have been exploring the applied and ethical dimensions of skepticism and doubt, coercive influence, and the nature of belief and its practical value.
I also have interests in philosophy of mind and value theory, especially their intersection.
Some of my recent work includes
The Special Value of Experience
,
Knowledge of Things and Aesthetic Testimony
, and a public piece called
Erasing consciousness
.
I'm part of the ERC
Extreme Beliefs
research group. I'm also a research affiliate within the DFG
Thinking about Suspension
network.
I studied philosophy at the
University of Edinburgh
(Ph.D.),
UC Berkeley
, and
VCU
(BA). I've worked at the
University of Cologne
with the support of an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation grant, and at the
Instituto de Investigaciones Filosóficas
at UNAM in Mexico City.
