Adam Rieger

Dr. Adam Rieger is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the Philosophy Department at the University of Glasgow, with expertise spanning mathematical logic, philosophy of mathematics, and social choice theory. His academic journey bridges rigorous mathematical training with deep philosophical inquiry.

His educational background includes:

• Undergraduate Mathematics at the University of Cambridge
• MSc in Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics
• DPhil in Philosophy at the University of Oxford under Angus Macintyre and Michael Dummett

Rieger's research centers on philosophy of mathematics, particularly foundations of set theory, set-theoretic paradoxes, and non-wellfounded sets. He actively investigates semantic paradoxes, defends neo-Gricean accounts of conditionals, and explores formal epistemology. His social choice theory work focuses on non-ranked voting systems like range voting and approval voting, analyzing their democratic implications.

His publication record (2000-2024) reveals consistent contributions across logic, philosophy of language, and political philosophy. Key trends include technical analyses of paradoxes, systematic defenses of material conditional theories, and innovative applications of set theory to philosophical problems. Recent work celebrates Alan Weir's contributions while advancing foundational debates.

Dr. Rieger actively supervises graduate research, particularly in dialetheism and plural logic. He welcomes new students in:

• Philosophy of Mathematics
• Mathematical Logic
• Formal Epistemology
• Social Choice Theory

His mentorship emphasizes rigorous formal methods applied to enduring philosophical questions.
