Joshua Bergamin is a philosopher at the University of Vienna. His work is highly interdisciplinary, combining analytic philosophy of mind with insights from continental phenomenology, supported by rigorous interpretations of empirical evidence from developmental and comparative psychology, neuroscience, and linguistics, as well as anthropology and ethnomusicology. Josh’s philosophical work forms part of a broader engagement with the political and ethical concerns that inspire it. In various former lives, Josh has worked as an advisor in the Parliament of New South Wales, and as a performance artist and percussionist in Edinburgh. His artistic training and practice, particularly in improvised music and dance, complement his research themes and have inspired elements of his published work, which has appeared in both scholarly and literary journals.
