Máté Veres
(IPA: [ ˈmaːteː vɛrɛʃ]
I am a Research Fellow (collaborateur scientifique, SNSF Ambizione) at the University of Geneva's Department of Philosophy and an Affiliated Researcher at the University of Gothenburg's Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science. In the Fall of 2023, I am also a Fellow at the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies. I previously worked at the University of Toronto, the University of Geneva, and the University of Hamburg.
I study ancient philosophy with a focus on Hellenistic epistemology and ethics. My current project concerns the notion of technê in Hellenistic philosophy. My previous project focused on Hellenistic philosophical theology and its interaction with ancient Scepticism.
