About

Jesús Navarro-Reyes (1974), PhD, is lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Seville, Spain. He began working on the history of early modern philosophy (in particular Montaigne's concept of subjectivity), and is now interested in issues related to philosophy of mind and language, like the 'other minds' problem, speech acts theory, intention and convention, or the distinction between knowing-how and knowing-that. He has also written on metaphilosophy and the analytic/continental divide.

He has been Research Fellow at the University of Chicago, Post-doctoral Fellow at UC-Berkeley and Visiting Scholar at Duke University. In 2009-10 he was Academic Visitor at Wolfson College, Oxford.
