Current Course Schedule

José Luis Bermúdez is Professor of Philosophy and Samuel Rhea Gammon Professor of Liberal Arts at Texas A&M University, where he has served as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and as Associate Provost for Strategic Planning. Before joining Texas A&M in 2010 he was Professor of Philosophy, Director of the Center for Programs in Arts and Sciences, and Director of the Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology Program at Washington University in St. Louis. Born in Bogotá, Colombia he was educated at St Paul’s School, London and King’s College, Cambridge.

Dr. Bermúdez’s many publications include seven single-author books and six edited volumes. His research interests are interdisciplinary in nature, at the intersection of philosophy and the cognitive and behavioral sciences more generally. His first book, The Paradox of Self-Consciousness (MIT Press, 1998) analyzed the nature of self-awareness. Thinking without Words (Oxford UP, 2003) offered a model for thinking about the cognitive achievements and abilities of prelinguistic infants and nonlinguistic humans. Decision Theory and Rationality (Oxford UP, 2009) explores tensions in how the concept of rationality is defined and formalized in different academic disciplines. Continuing his work on self-consciousness and self-reference, Understanding “I”: Language and Thought was published by Oxford UP in 2017 and The Bodily Self: Selected Essays by MIT Press in 2018. His new book, The Power of Frames: New Tools for Rational Thought, will be published by Cambridge University Press in June 2020.

Two themes recur in these works. One was his early “conviction (though I am unaware of ever having held any supernatural beliefs) that life is ruled by mysterious forces.” The other was his sense that what mattered most in life were the lonely choices of love and attention that one made without any external compulsion, as in the “passionate. In 1939, soon after he made his final decision to remain in the United States instead of returning to his native England, Auden wrote a series of poems and essays in which, at the age of thirty-two, he reinterpreted his childhood.

The third edition of his widely used textbook Cognitive Science: An Introduction to the Science of the Mind was published by Cambridge University Press in December 2019. It has been adopted for courses offered by departments of cognitive science, philosophy, psychology, and computer science in universities in (at least) 11 different countries. He published Philosophy of Psychology: A Contemporary Introduction with Routledge in 2005. He is the editor of the New Problems in Philosophy book series, published by Routledge.

Dr. Bermúdez’s work has been supported by an ACLS fellowship (2018-2019), an NEH Summer Stipend (2018), a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship (1993-1996), and grants and awards from the National Science Foundation, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Centre Nationale de Recherche Scientifique, the Carnegie Trust, and the Royal Society of Edinburgh, in addition to private foundations.

Pursuing a longstanding interest in the history of philosophy, He is currently co-directing a project on the theme ‘Reconsidering the Sources of the Self in the Ancient, Medieval, and Early Modern Periods’ with Dr. Catherine Conybeare of Bryn Mawr College. This project is supported by a Collaborative Research Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
