معرفی
Jean Baccelli is an Associate Professor of Philosophy of Economics at the University of Oxford and a Tutorial Fellow in Philosophy at Jesus College, Oxford. His research focuses on decision theory, social choice theory, and the philosophy of economics, with particular emphasis on axiomatic frameworks, utility theory, and formal methods in philosophical analysis.
He holds a PhD from École normale supérieure - Ulm (2016) and has held postdoctoral positions at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (2016–2021), the Center for the Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh (2019–2020), and again in Munich (2020–2021). His career includes roles at prestigious institutions, reflecting his expertise in formal philosophy and economic theory.
Research interests span foundational issues in decision theory, including the axiomatic foundations of rational choice, risk aversion, interpersonal comparisons, and the application of geometric and mathematical methods to philosophical problems. His work critically examines core assumptions in expected utility theory, social choice mechanisms, and the philosophical underpinnings of economic models.
Notable contributions include analyses of the Sure-Thing Principle, geometric pooling in collective belief formation, and state-dependent utility frameworks. His publications engage with both technical formalism and broader philosophical debates, bridging analytic philosophy, economics, and mathematics.
Baccelli’s advising and teaching focus on advanced topics in the philosophy of economics and decision theory, mentoring students through Oxford’s tutorial system. His interdisciplinary approach integrates formal methods with conceptual analysis, addressing challenges in welfare economics, epistemic democracy, and the philosophy of social science.
