Máté Veres
(IPA: [ ˈmaːteː vɛrɛʃ]
I am the acting professor (Vertretungsprofessor) of ancient philosophy at the University of Hamburg, Germany and a research fellow (collaborateur scientifique, SNSF Ambizione) at the University of Geneva, Switzerland.
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.
If you would like to receive a .pdf of one of my published articles, or if you would like to propose a collaborative project, please get in touch!
