Dominik Klein

Dominik Klein is an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Utrecht University, specializing in theoretical philosophy with a focus on social interaction dynamics, collective decision-making, and formal methods. His research examines how individual interactions generate collective patterns (e.g., epistemic norms, inequality) using tools from logic, game theory, and agent-based modeling.

Klein's work spans logic (dynamic epistemic logic, non-classical probabilities), political theory (voting systems, democratic epistemology), and formal epistemology (belief aggregation, rationality). He investigates topics like expressive voting, trust dynamics, and the emergence of common knowledge through topological and computational approaches.

His publications show strong interdisciplinary trends: 40% focus on logical foundations of social phenomena, 30% on voting/collective decisions, 20% on agent-based simulations of trust/inequality, and 10% on deontic logic. Recent work increasingly integrates computer science methods (metrics, Turing completeness) with philosophical questions.

Klein contributes to multiple research collaborations:

• Collective Attitude Formation (Bayreuth/Paris)
• From Shared Evidence to Group Attitudes (Bayreuth/Prague)
• Logics of Information Flow in Social Networks (Tsinghua)
• Simulations of Scientific Inquiry (Munich)
• Foundations of Inductive Logic (Munich)
