Dr Janine Gühler

I studied Philosophy and Computer Science at the Humboldt University in Berlin and then moved to Scotland to pursue a PhD in Philosophy at the University of St Andrews. My doctoral studies were supported by PETAF (Perspectival Thoughts and Facts), as part of the FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network (European Commission Funding). I graduated with a thesis on Aristotle’s Philosophy of Mathematics under the supervision of Sarah Broadie and Katherine Hawley. In 2015, I moved to Oxford to start as a stipendiary lecturer in philosophy at Wadham and St Hilda’s Colleges while also maintaining a part-time position as “Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin” (≅ fixed-term lecturer) at Bonn University, Germany. My research focuses on the nature of mathematical objects in Aristotle and Plato, with a particular interest in how their views tie in with their more general views in epistemology and ontology.

Since 2016, I have been a stipendiary lecturer in philosophy at Worcester College, Oxford, while also teaching casually for several Oxford Colleges and visiting student programmes. I teach a wide range of philosophy papers including General Philosophy, Plato’s Meno and Euthyphro (Greek), Early Greek Philosophy (Greek), Frege’s Foundations of Arithmetic, Aristotle on Nature, Life and Mind (Greek/translation), Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics (Greek/trans), Plato’s Republic (Greek/trans), Plato’s Theaetetus and Sophist (Greek/trans), Knowledge & Reality, Philosophy of Mathematics, Philosophy of Mind, Early Modern Philosophy, Kant, Ethics and Feminist Philosophy.
