معرفی
Prof. Dr. Thorsten Sander is an adjunct professor in philosophy at the University of Duisburg-Essen's Institute of Philosophy, within the Faculty of Humanities. His research focuses on philosophy of language, pragmatics, and Gottlob Frege's contributions to semantics. He holds a PhD from Universität Gesamthochschule Essen (2001) and has authored influential works such as Frege's Pragmatics (2025) and Bedeutung als Gebrauch (2018). His work bridges historical analysis of Frege's theories with contemporary issues in semantics and psycholinguistics.
Research Interests:
- Non-at-issue contents (e.g., implicatures)
- Fregean pragmatics (coloring, side-thoughts)
- Register differences and use-conditional meaning
- Meta-ethics and moral semantics
Publications highlight his engagement with Frege's legacy, including analyses of modality, presupposition, and pragmatic vs. semantic meaning distinctions. He critiques traditional categorizations like 'epistemic implicature' and advocates for precise semantic profiles tailored to theoretical goals.
Prof. Sander's contributions span books, peer-reviewed articles, and reviews. His current projects include exploring pejoratives and Frege's influence on modern psycholinguistics. Office hours are Fridays at 12 noon (email预约).
