Thomas Schindler

Thomas Schindler is an Assistant Professor at the University of Amsterdam, where he leads the ERC Starting Grant project "Generalisation into Sentence and Predicate Positions" (2023-2028). His academic journey includes Marie Curie Fellowship (2018-2020), Research Associate at University of Bristol (2020-2022), and Junior Research Fellow at Clare College, University of Cambridge (2015-2018). He earned his PhD summa cum laude from LMU Munich (2015) under Hannes Leitgeb.

His research intersects logic, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mathematics, with a focus on deflationism, abstract objects, semantic paradoxes, and type-free theories. Recent publications analyze the logical function of property talk, Gödelian solutions to paradoxes, and minimalist accounts of numbers. His work demonstrates that disquotational truth can simulate higher-order logic while addressing generalization problems.

Scientific awards include ERC Starting Grant, Marie Curie Fellowship, DFG funding, and multiple scholarships from DAAD, Tilburg University, and LMU Munich. He actively contributes to academic communities through editorial work (Dialectica 2020-2022), refereeing for journals like Mind and Journal of Philosophical Logic, and organizing workshops on abstract objects and paradoxes.
