Aljoscha Berve is a Researcher at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf's Institute of Philosophy within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. He holds a M.A. in Classics and Philosophy (2001–2008) from Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and a Ph.D. in Philosophy (2008–2013) from Heinrich Heine University. Since 2012, he has served as Scientific Assistant/Research Associate at his current institution and as Managing Director/Vice-Chairman of the European Society for Process Thought.

His research focuses on process philosophy, complexity theory, and metaphysics with particular emphasis on A.N. Whitehead, Hermann Lotze, and educational philosophy. He has contributed to Whitehead studies through monographs and edited volumes, including Spekulative Vernunft (2015) and a critical edition of Whitehead's Harvard lectures (planned 2022). His work explores the interplay between metaphysics, historical philosophy, and contemporary societal challenges.

Recent publications analyze Whitehead's cosmology, relational metaphysics in 19th-century thought, and educational philosophy. Upcoming works include a critical edition of Lotze's metaphysical system (2021) and studies on Kant-Goethe intellectual history (2022). He actively participates in international conferences on process thought, ontology, and interdisciplinary philosophy.

Professional activities include organizing academic events like the European Summer School for Process Thought and contributing to scholarly societies. His current projects address complexity theory applications in philosophy, the legacy of Whitehead's thought, and the philosophical reinterpretation of Kantian and Goethean traditions.
