Kevin Reuter

Kevin Reuter is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Gothenburg and former SNSF Eccellenza Professor at the University of Zurich. His research focuses on normative concepts, causal and moral judgements, and dual character concepts within the intersections of philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and experimental philosophy. He leads projects funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF), including a study on dual character concepts' role in bridging descriptive and normative realms.

His research explores how concepts like 'artist' or 'scientist' integrate descriptive and normative criteria, impacting social roles, gender biases, and legal frameworks. Notable works include studies on pain perception, transformative decisions, and causal attributions. Awards include the SNSF Eccellenza Professorship (2019–2024). He advises PhD students such as Lucien Baumgartner and Severin Frohofer, and collaborates with researchers like Pascale Willemsen. His lab at the University of Zurich investigates conceptual representation and normative evaluations, with implications for social sciences and policy.
