Phyllis Pearson is a research fellow in the FWF Cluster of Excellence 'Knowledge in Crisis' project. Her main areas of research are epistemology and ethics. Her work aims to understand the relationship between our epistemic obligations and how we ought to treat one another. In particular, she is working to better understand putative moral/epistemic virtues, like open-mindedness, humility, and empathy, and how these relate to our epistemic obligations to seek knowledge and form beliefs responsibly.Phyllis Pearson works as a postdoctoral researcher at CEU.
