Til Eyinck

I am a PhD student in Philosophy at the Cologne Center for Contemporary Epistemology and the Kantian Tradition under the supervision of Sven Bernecker. Currently, I am a visiting scholar at the University of Oxford (hosted by Neil Levy). In 2025, I was a visiting scholar at the University of St Andrews (hosted by Franz Berto).

I am intrigued by the fact that we, as humans and scientists, often presuppose things that, in a way, do not exist – ranging from numbers to fictive characters and possible worlds. My doctoral research focuses on fictional speech. To date, I have authored publications in the field of social epistemology, modal logic, and Wittgenstein’s early philosophy.

My journalistic pieces, which are often thematically related to my academic work, have appeared in Frankfurter Rundschau and Die Welt, among others. Here, you will find info about these matters, news/upcoming events, art, and even more contingent stuff.
