معرفی
Cord Friebe is Professor of Theoretical Philosophy with an analytical focus at the Philosophical Seminar of the University of Siegen, part of Faculty I. He has held various professorial and research positions across Germany and internationally, including acting professorships at the Universities of Konstanz, Cologne, Saarland, and Bonn, as well as a research fellowship at the Centre for Time at the University of Sydney.
His research spans several core areas in contemporary philosophy, primarily centered on analytical metaphysics, especially the metaphysics of time and substance, and the philosophy of physics, including spacetime theories and quantum mechanics. He also maintains strong interests in Kant's theoretical philosophy, Freudian psychoanalysis, and the philosophy of economics and money. Additional interests include analytical philosophy of language (Kripke, Kaplan), philosophy of biology, Kuhn's theory of science, Aristotle, and transcendental philosophy.
He leads a research environment hosting postdoctoral researchers and doctoral students, including Dr. Florian Fischer, Marcello Garibbo, Dr. des. Mahdi Ranaee, Franziska Voigt, and Tina Wachter. His work has been supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG), notably through a project on individuality, distinctness, and entanglement at the University of Bonn, currently on leave.
Cord Friebe earned his doctorate summa cum laude from the University of Freiburg in 1998 on the topic of indistinguishable quantum objects, combining philosophy, physics, and mathematics. He completed his habilitation in 2003 at the same institution with a thesis on the theory of the unconscious from a transcendental philosophical perspective, with a colloquium on the philosophy of money.

He has held research and teaching positions since 1998, beginning as a research assistant at the University of Freiburg, followed by DFG-funded research on time and reality in special relativity and Kant, and substitute senior assistant roles. His academic trajectory reflects a deep integration of philosophy with the natural sciences, particularly physics.
While no specific list of scientific awards is mentioned, his sustained engagement with DFG-funded projects and professorial appointments underscores recognition within the German academic system.
He currently supervises a team of assistants and tutors, including Karin Lindner, Bo Loxtermann, Anna-Lisa Nussbaum, Maria Schwab, and Nico Viebahn, contributing to teaching and research activities within the department.
