Robert Vinten

Dr. Robert Vinten, a postdoctoral research fellow with a focus on Wittgenstein and the cognitive science of religion, dives deep into how philosophical and cognitive perspectives intertwine in understanding belief. He discusses whether religion can be seen as a natural phenomenon and critiques reductionist approaches that oversimplify complex mental processes. Vinten also addresses epistemic injustice, considering how marginalized voices have a unique insight into their experiences. His insights challenge listeners to rethink the relationship between philosophy and cognitive science.
