Nawar, Tamer

ICREA Research Professor at Universitat de Barcelona (UB).
Humanities

Short biography

From January 2023, I am ICREA Research Professor at the University of Barcelona.

I obtained my PhD at the University of Cambridge and was then a postdoctoral research fellow at the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Oxford. From 2015 to 2022, I was Assistant Professor and then Associate Professor at the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Groningen. I have also been Nelson Distinguished Visiting Professor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Research interests

My work focuses on diverse issues in the history of philosophy, epistemology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of language of logic.

From January 2023, I am leading a research project ‘Truth in Ancient and Medieval Philosophy’, funded by the European Research Council. This project examines the development of philosophical theories of truth in the Greco-Roman, Arabic, and Latin philosophical traditions in antiquity and the Middle Ages and how such theories responded to problems concerning issues such as semantic paradoxes (e.g. Liar paradoxes), various difficulties concerning the truth of statements about the future, and worries about the nature of correspondence between language and reality.

Key words

Ancient Philosophy; Medieval Philosophy; Metaphysics; Epistemology; Philosophy of Language and Logic
