Konrad Talmont-Kamiński (born 1 January 1971 in Chojnice , Poland [ 1] ) is an analytic philosopher and cognitive scientist , dealing with epistemology , philosophy of science , philosophy of mind and the theory of rationality .[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] His work is also influenced by psychology , biology , history, anthropology and other disciplines.[ 3] [ 6]
He obtained his BA in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Melbourne in Melbourne in 1994, his MA from the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario , Canada in 1995, and his doctorate from Monash University in Melbourne [ 7] in 1999, under the supervision of John Bigelow, PhD[ 3] He then moved to Poland in 2001,[ 4] where he first worked for the Polish Academy of Science , and later in the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin ,[ 3] the Warsaw University of Finance and Management in Warsaw (now the University of Economics and Human Sciences in Warsaw), Psychology Department,[ 6] and University of Białystok in Białystok .[ 5] He publishes in journals such as The Monist , Frontiers in Psychology and Religion , Brain and Behavior ,[ 4] and Skeptical Inquirer magazine.[ 8] [ 9]
During his scholarship at the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research in Vienna, Austria he began working on the cognitive basis of supernatural beliefs (superstitions , magic , and religion).[ 4] [ 6] The work resulted in a book published in 2014 Religion as a Magical Ideology: How the Supernatural Reflects Rationality ,[ 2] [ 4] [ 5] for which he received his habilitation in 2014.[ 5] He also presents his works in many conferences in Australia and Europe. He will be a speaker at the 17th European Skeptics Congress in Wrocław , Poland , where he will give a speech: Cognition and the Science/Religion Debate .[ 4] [ 10]
His current interests are the empirical implications of the model proposed in the book, connecting ritualised behaviour with superstition ,[ 4] and the development of a broadly Peircean account of reason .[ 7]
