Welcome!
I’m Christoph Durt (pronounced: DOO-urt), a philosopher, interdisciplinary researcher, and lecturer at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). I focus on:
- the human mind
- digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- the intricate interrelation between the two
I’m investigating these subjects in my research and publications as well as in academic projects. I have explored a wide variety of philosophers in my courses and lectures, both online and in person 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:
- Philosophy of AI and Digitization
- Phenomenology
- History of Philosophy (especially Ancient Greek, Descartes, Kant, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein)
- Intercultural and Latin American philosophy
Since 2022, I lead the German-language focus group Philosophical Foundations of the Digital (Philosophische Grundlagen des Digitalen) of the German Society for Philosophy (DGPhil). We discuss texts, exchange new insights, and organize events. Those interested in joining our monthly meetings can apply via email.
