Welcome!
I’m Christoph Durt (pronounced: dooart). I’m a philosopher and interdisciplinary researcher with a focus on:
- the human mind
- digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- the intricate interrelation between the two
I’m investigating these in my research and publications as well as in academic projects on these topics. I build on the insights by philosophers of very different perspectives. Some of these I have explored in my courses and lectures at Munich University, Vienna University, the University of California at Berkeley (UCB), and the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC), where I received an exceptional teaching award. Topics include:
- history of philosophy
- phenomenology
- Wittgenstein
- Ancient Greek
- Early Modern
- Kant
- 19ᵗʰ and 20ᵗʰ century philosophy
- Intercultural and Latin American philosophy
If you are interested, you may still be able to join a free online seminar on Artificial Intelligence and Human Orientation, which I teach together with Lucy Osler. We meet monthly from April to December 2023.
