Jan Slaby is Junior Professor for Philosophy of Mind and Philosophy Emotion at Freie Universität Berlin. One aim of his work is the development of a non-mentalist phenomenological account of personhood (with affinities to enactivism, extended mind, embodied mind approaches). A more recent orientation is toward the affective dynamics of social interaction and toward a ‘political philosophy of mind’. This relates to a further research interest in the methodology of interdisciplinary affect studies, and on bringing philosophy in conversation with recent work in cultural studies, including postcolonial, feminist and critical race theory.
