Thiemo Breyer holds Masters degrees in philosophy, cognitive science, and historical and social anthropology from the Universities of Freiburg and Cambridge. He received a doctorate (2010) and a habilitation (2014) in philosophy from the University of Freiburg. After being a research assistant at the Karl-Jaspers-Chair for Philosophy and Psychiatry and coordinator of the research project “Embodiment as Paradigm for an Evolutionary Cultural Anthropology” at the Marsilius Kolleg of the University of Heidelberg, he was appointed to a Junior Professorship for Transformations of Knowledge at the University of Cologne (2014). His main areas of research are phenomenology, philosophy of mind, and philosophical anthropology. He is currently co-editing a number of volumes, including Phenomenology of Thinking (Routledge) and Normativity in Perception (Palgrave Macmillan). His research project at the Center is devoted to investigating various forms of visibility and their implications for the attribution of social statuses to individuals and groups. The connections between visibility and empathy on the basis of an embodied approach to perception and interaction are at the core of the analysis.
