معرفی
Alexander Dinges is a Lecturer at the Institute of Philosophy, Freie Universität Berlin, currently funded by the Heisenberg Programme. His research focuses on Epistemology, Philosophy of Language, and Philosophy of Mind, with specific interests in knowledge, belief, subjective language, speech acts, and indirect communication. He leads the project Norms and Nature of Acceptance and previously coordinated the scientific network Semantics and Meta-Semantics of Context-Sensitivity.
Before his current role, Dinges held academic positions at Humboldt University Berlin, Universität Hamburg, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, and HHU Düsseldorf. His work bridges theoretical and experimental approaches, addressing topics like pragmatic encroachment, loose talk, and the semantics of gradable adjectives. He has published extensively in leading journals such as Mind, Philosophical Quarterly, and Linguistics and Philosophy.
His recent articles explore the interplay between pragmatic factors and knowledge attributions, the semantics of taste predicates, and degrees of acceptance. Key trends in his work include the application of experimental methods to philosophical questions and critiques of contextualist and relativist frameworks. He has received citations for his contributions to understanding deniability and pragmatic invariantism.
