- Primary Affiliation: University of Stirling, Philosophy
- Research Focus: Primate cognition, theory of mind, and cognitive development in non-human species
Durdevic's work examines how animals represent knowledge and beliefs, addressing questions about the role of language in mental state attribution. His studies include experimental analyses of chimpanzee cognition and cooperative behavior in avian species like blue-throated macaws.
Current projects include Agency, Rationality, and Epistemic Defeat (funded by the Medical Research Council, 2021-2025), which investigates epistemic constraints on rational agency in non-human primates. The articles in his portfolio reflect a longitudinal focus on zoo-based research, cognitive complexity in apes, and the philosophical implications of animal mental states.
