معرفی
Stecen Gross serves as Assistant Professor in the Philosophy department at the University of Pennsylvania. He was awarded the Andrew W. Mellon Penn Faculty Fellowship in the Humanities during the 2003-2004 academic year for research on conscious and unconscious belief systems.
His primary research explores the philosophical tension between accessible and inaccessible beliefs, particularly regarding linguistic meaning and religious cognition. He investigates how language use simultaneously requires conscious access to semantic content (e.g., intentional speech acts) while relying on unconscious tacit knowledge (e.g., syntactic rule application), extending this analysis to evolutionary psychological models of religious belief.
