Michael Blome-Tillmann
Associate Professor &Â William Dawson Scholar
Michael Blome-Tillmann earned a BPhil (2003) and DPhil (2007) in Philosophy from the University of Oxford. Before joining the ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ faculty in 2009 he was the Stevenson Junior Research Fellow in the Arts at University College, Oxford. More recently (2014-16) he was a Marie Curie Experienced Researcher at the University of Cambridge.
Blome-Tillmann's primary areas of research lie in epistemology, the philosophy of language, and especially their intersection (the semantics of knowledge attributions). He has published articles on a number of topics in epistemology, including scepticism, closure, Moorean reasoning, reliabilism, and epistemic contextualism, but also on topics in the philosophy of language. A monograph developing his views on epistemic contextualism has appeared in 2014 with Oxford University Press.
He enjoys discussing a wide variety of philosophical topics.
