Martine Nida-Rümelin
FollowMartine Nida-Rümelin is a German philosopher and professor of philosophy at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, where she has taught since 1999. Her contributions have earned the 2019 Jean Nicod Prize for outstanding philosophical work on mind and cognition, won previously by towering figures including John Searle and David Chalmers.
She is known for defending non-reductionist positions on consciousness and personal identity that challenge materialist and purely physicalist accounts of the mind. Her work develops and defends what she calls subject-body dualism—an account that asserts the irreducible status of conscious individuals and their experiences while avoiding the classic problems of traditional dualisms.
