Author Information

Louis Vervoort received a PhD in philosophy of science at the Université de Montréal in 2013 and worked as a post-doc at the Université du Québec à Montréal, and since then as a professor in Russia, now at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. Before switching to philosophy, he obtained a PhD in physics at the Université d’Aix-Marseille and did a post-doc at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. This bi-disciplinary experience often incites him to study philosophical problems from a crossed philosophical-scientific perspective; he has the firm belief that there is a great potential of cross-fertilisation between these fields. Louis Vervoort has worked on classic problems of analytic philosophy, such as Gettier’s problem, causation, the interpretation of probability, the problem of induction, free will and consciousness, and the interpretation of quantum physics – quantum nonlocality and Bell’s theorem, notably. One of the key insights he would like to convey in this book is that these problems are related, and that a synthetic approach is needed to address them.
