Christian List is Professor of Philosophy and Decision Theory at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, where he serves as Co-Director of the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP). Previously, he was Professor of Philosophy and Political Science at the London School of Economics until 2020. His work bridges philosophy, economics, and political science with a particular focus on individual and collective decision-making and the nature of intentional agency. Professor List's research spans multiple interconnected domains: theories of individual and collective choice (particularly social choice theory and judgment aggregation), free will and consciousness, the philosophy of mind and action, and the foundations of the social sciences. His work on group agency, developed in his influential book Group Agency with Philip Pettit, has reshaped debates about corporate entities and collective intentionality. His more recent work on free will, culminating in his book Why Free Will is Real , presents a scientifically grounded defense of free will against reductionist skepticism. His recent publications reveal a sophisticated integration of formal methods with deep philosophical questions, particularly regarding consciousness, probability aggregation, and the relationship between different levels of explanation. List's work consistently demonstrates how mathematical precision can illuminate fundamental philosophical problems while maintaining relevance to broader social and scientific contexts. Scientific Awards and Recognition: Elected Fellow of the British Academy (2014) Member of Academia Europaea (2023) Member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities (2022) Joseph B.

Dr. Aaron Schurger is an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department at Chapman University’s Crean College of Health and Behavioral Sciences. He is also a member of the Institute for Interdisciplinary Brain and Behavioral Sciences. Schurger holds a BA from Indiana University, and MA and PhD from Princeton University. His research focuses on the neuroscience of volition, consciousness, and decision-making, particularly exploring the readiness potential (RP) and its implications for free will debates. His work challenges classical interpretations of the RP using computational models, suggesting it reflects stochastic neural processes rather than preconscious decisions. Recent contributions include studies on the origins of the RP in spiking neural networks, critiques of causal structure theories of consciousness, and interdisciplinary analyses of free will. His findings emphasize that the RP may not indicate preconscious decision-making but instead arise from natural neural fluctuations during decision thresholds. Schurger collaborates across neuroscience, philosophy, and cognitive science, contributing to debates on consciousness, action initiation, and neural correlates of subjective experience. His research also addresses methodological rigor in studying unconscious processing and integrates computational models with empirical data, as seen in studies on movement timing and neural stability during perception. While no specific grants or labs are explicitly listed, his affiliations suggest involvement in interdisciplinary projects at Chapman.
