The aim of the Cluster is to advance our understanding of this crisis. It will explore fundamental philosophical questions about the nature of knowledge and investigate various challenges to scientific and other knowledge. In this pursuit it brings together philosophers working on metaphysics, ethics, political and social philosophy, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science and epistemology to jointly investigate the many facets of the crisis. The Cluster is a collaboration between four Institutions (CEU and the universities of Vienna, Graz and Salzburg). The Cluster will eventually involve over 45 researchers across the four participating institutions.
