Dr. Adam Rieger is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the Philosophy Department at the University of Glasgow, with expertise spanning mathematical logic, philosophy of mathematics, and social choice theory. His academic journey bridges rigorous mathematical training with deep philosophical inquiry. His educational background includes: Undergraduate Mathematics at the University of Cambridge MSc in Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics DPhil in Philosophy at the University of Oxford under Angus Macintyre and Michael Dummett Rieger's research centers on philosophy of mathematics, particularly foundations of set theory, set-theoretic paradoxes, and non-wellfounded sets. He actively investigates semantic paradoxes, defends neo-Gricean accounts of conditionals, and explores formal epistemology. His social choice theory work focuses on non-ranked voting systems like range voting and approval voting, analyzing their democratic implications. His publication record (2000-2024) reveals consistent contributions across logic, philosophy of language, and political philosophy. Key trends include technical analyses of paradoxes, systematic defenses of material conditional theories, and innovative applications of set theory to philosophical problems. Recent work celebrates Alan Weir's contributions while advancing foundational debates. Dr. Rieger actively supervises graduate research, particularly in dialetheism and plural logic. He welcomes new students in: Philosophy of Mathematics Mathematical Logic Formal Epistemology Social Choice Theory His mentorship emphasizes rigorous formal methods applied to enduring philosophical questions.

Pascal Schiemann serves as a Research Fellow in the Department of Musicology at the Faculty of Philosophy II, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), where he has held academic positions since 2011. His current role as Research Associate began in October 2023, following appointments as Lecturer (Winter 2022/23) and Research Assistant (Summer 2023). His academic journey includes: 2011–2020: Studies in Musicology and German at MLU 2013–2020: Research Assistant at IMMS and Institute for Ethnology and Philosophy 2016–2020: Tutor in the German Department Scholarly work centers on Musical Postmodernism, Poststructuralism, and Paraconsistent Aesthetics , with significant contributions to Concert Form analysis (c. 1800) and Black Metal studies . His research bridges historical musicology with contemporary philosophical frameworks, examining ideological dimensions in extreme metal subcultures and structural innovations in classical-era concertos. Current projects explore the intersection of silence, pop culture, and film soundtracks through semiotic and cultural lenses. Publication trends reveal a consistent trajectory from historical analysis (Classical-era concert forms) toward contemporary cultural critique (postmodernism, Black Metal ideology), demonstrating methodological versatility across music-historical periods and theoretical paradigms. Recent work increasingly engages with political philosophy and cross-cultural aesthetics. Scientific recognition includes: German Academic Scholarship Foundation fellowship (2016-2020) Graduate Fund of Saxony-Anhalt doctoral support (since 2021) DAAD-funded research residency at Stony Brook University (2022) Mentorship activities include tutoring German Department students (2013-2020) and lecturing in Musicology. Research is supported by competitive fellowships enabling international collaboration, particularly in postmodern aesthetics and global metal studies. Current projects involve interdisciplinary work through MLU's Institute for Music, Media and Speech Sciences (IMMS), focusing on paraconsistent logic applications in music analysis and cross-cultural Black Metal research.

Curtis Brown is a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Trinity University's College of Liberal Arts, with a distinguished scholarly career spanning nearly three decades from the mid-1980s to the early 2010s. His academic work demonstrates deep engagement with foundational questions in philosophical inquiry. His primary research interests include: Philosophy of mind, particularly functionalism and mental representation Epistemology, with special focus on belief states and rationality Moral philosophy, examining reasons for moral action and ethical living Aesthetics and the relationship between art and social structures Computational models of cognition Professor Brown's scholarship reveals a consistent exploration of how mental states relate to physical systems and computational models. His work on functionalism provides comprehensive analysis across multiple disciplines, while his research on narrow mental content contributes significantly to debates about internalism versus externalism in philosophy of mind. His publication record shows particular strength in addressing paradoxical epistemic situations and the relationship between computational theories and mental phenomena. His notable publications include "Functionalism" (2008), which appeared in the International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, "Narrow Mental Content" (2011), and "Combinatorial-State Automata and Models of Computation" (2012), which collectively demonstrate his expertise in bridging philosophical theory with cognitive science approaches. His work continues to be accessed by scholars, as evidenced by the substantial download metrics associated with his publications in the Trinity University repository. Professor Brown has also contributed significantly to collaborative works including "The Moral Life" (1999) and "Drugs, Morality and the Law" (1994), showing his engagement with applied ethical issues and practical philosophical concerns.
