Martin Gustafsson is Professor and Chair of Philosophy at Åbo Akademi University, affiliated with the Faculty of Arts, Psychology and Theology, and the Department of Culture, History and Philosophy. He has held this position since 2010 and continues to be an active researcher, teacher, and supervisor.
His research focuses on the interplay between the Philosophy of Language and the Philosophy of Action, particularly how these are embedded in human life. Influenced by Elizabeth Anscombe, Stanley Cavell, and Ludwig Wittgenstein, his work spans the history of analytic philosophy, philosophical methodology, and the philosophy of logic. He has led significant research projects funded by the Academy of Finland, the Swedish Central Bank's Tercentenary Foundation, and the Swedish Research Council.
His recent publications reflect deep engagement with thinkers like Frege, Weierstrass, Kant, and Quine, exploring themes such as the paradox of analysis, aesthetic judgment, and the role of passivity in action. His research output is extensive and consistently contributes to core debates in analytic philosophy.
