معرفی
Philipp Brüllmann is Professor of Ancient Philosophy at Heidelberg University since December 2022, specializing in historical ancient philosophy and systematic practical ethics. His work bridges classical texts with contemporary philosophical debates.
His academic training includes:
- Habilitation in Philosophy, LMU Munich (2015)
- Doctorate in Philosophy, Humboldt University of Berlin (2007)
- Master of Arts in Musicology, University of Tübingen (2002)
- Undergraduate studies in Musicology and Philosophy, University of Tübingen (1996-2002)
Brüllmann's research centers on Ancient Philosophy—particularly Plato, Aristotle, Hellenistic thought, and Cicero—with extensions into Neo-Aristotelian movements. Systematically, he explores metaethics, normative ethics, political philosophy, moral psychology, and philosophy of music. Current projects examine partiality in ethics, obedience to law in antiquity, and moral revisionism through texts like Cicero's De Officiis and Plato's Laws.
His recent publications (2020-2023) reveal consistent engagement with ethical frameworks in Greco-Roman philosophy, emphasizing duty, partial relationships, and psychological dimensions of moral reasoning. Key themes include Cicero's political psychology and Plato's conceptual analysis of thick ethical terms.
Brüllmann leads the DFG-funded project 'The community is more important than the individual' at LMU Munich (2021-2022) and serves as Associate Editor for Ancient Philosophy Today: DIALOGOI. Previously, he contributed to the Munich School of Ancient Philosophy (MUSAφ) until 2021 and held acting professorships across German universities.
