Helge Rückert

Dr. Helge Rückert is a Lecturer at the Chair of Theoretical Philosophy/Philosophy of Language (Chair I) within the School of Humanities at the University of Mannheim. He has been affiliated with the university since 2003, contributing to both academic research and teaching.

Education:

• Studied philosophy, psychology, and computer linguistics at the universities of Saarbrücken and Nancy 2
• Completed his doctorate with a thesis on non-classical logics in game-theoretic semantics

Research Focus: Dr. Rückert advocates for an analytic approach to philosophy, specializing in formal and philosophical logic, including dialogical logic and modal logic with subjunctive markers. His work extends to analytic metaphysics, particularly the philosophy of metaphysical and epistemic modalities, influenced by Kripke. Additionally, he explores the history of analytic philosophy (e.g., Frege, Wittgenstein, Vienna Circle) and interdisciplinary domains like population ethics, social choice theory, game theory, and philosophy-economics intersections (e.g., Adam Smith, Gary Becker).
