Raul Saucedo

Raul Saucedo is an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado Boulder's Department of Philosophy. Previously, he held positions at Yale University and the Australian National University. His research focuses on metaphysics, logic, and philosophy of science, particularly issues related to mereology, fundamentality, and pluralism. He explores themes such as parts and wholes, space and time, plurals, and ontological priority across historical and non-Western philosophical traditions.

Education: PhD from Cornell University; undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley and UNAM. His work bridges ancient Greek, early modern, and Indian philosophical thought with contemporary metaphysical debates.

Research interests include collective allism (a novel view prioritizing collective reality), mereological indeterminacy, and the ontological relationship between individuality and collectivity. His book project, Collective Allism: The Universal Plurality as Fundamental Reality, challenges traditional monism and pluralism by advocating for the priority of all entities collectively.

Publications span topics like composition as identity, extended simples, and four-dimensionalist endurantism. His work often employs formal methods to address paradoxes and ground metaphysical principles in higher-order facts.
