Alexander Paseau | Faculty of Philosophy

I read Mathematics (BA 1996) followed by a year of Philosophy (Part II) at Trinity College, Cambridge. After taking the BPhil in Philosophy at Oxford (1999), I returned to Cambridge for my PhD, supervised by Alex Oliver. I spent 2001 as a visiting graduate student at Princeton, working with Paul Benacerraf and David Lewis. After three years of a Research Fellowship at Jesus College, Cambridge, I came to Oxford in 2005, where I am now a professor and a fellow of Wadham College. I was an Associate Editor of Mind from 2015 to 2018 and will be the Editor-in-chief of the Journal for the Philosophy of Mathematics in 2025 and 2026. I have held Research Fellowships from the Mind Association and the Leverhulme Trust, as well as visiting appointments at the Sydney Centre for the Foundations of Science, King’s College London, the Institut d’histoire et de philosophie des sciences et des techniques in Paris, and the Academy of Athens. CV (PDF) Books Journal articles (36) and book chapters (9)
