Blake Roeber

Blake Roeber is the Michael P. Grace II Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, specializing in epistemology, philosophy of language, and metaphysics. He holds a Ph.D. from Rutgers University.

His research focuses on the intersection of traditional epistemology with contemporary issues like political polarization and fake news, exploring how belief formation processes impact societal discourse. Recent work examines rational action, identity-protective cognition, and the value of knowledge in democratic societies.

Roeber's publications primarily engage with debates in social epistemology and pragmatic encroachment, demonstrating consistent interest in how epistemological frameworks can address real-world challenges. His 2024 monograph Political Humility analyzes epistemic limitations in partisan environments.
