Phenomenology · Perception · Epistemology

I work on the sources of meaning in perceptual and embodied life.

Peter Antich

My research addresses questions in the philosophy of perception and epistemology through phenomenology, but it is pluralistic in method: I treat phenomenology as a resource enriched by dialogue with analytic philosophy, critical theory, and the history of philosophy. I also test phenomenological claims against concrete cases like dementia, color vision, and stereotyping.

Volume

Motivation and Temporality, co-edited with Christos Hadjioannou and Nikos Soueltzis. Under contract with Routledge.
