Who is Tyler Burge?

Tyler Burge is a Professor of Philosophy at UCLA. Burge has made contributions to several areas of philosophy, including the philosophy of mind, epistemology, and the history of philosophy. He is an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy. He was the recipient of the 2010 Jean Nicod Prize .

In the history of philosophy, he has published articles on the philosophy of Gottlob Frege. A collection of his writings on Frege, along with a substantial introduction and several postscripts by the author, has been published. In epistemology, he has written on such topics as self-knowledge and the warrant to testimony. He is perhaps most well known for his contributions to the philosophy of mind, including his views on de re belief and, most notably, anti-individualism with respect to mental content, which is also known as externalism. A festschrift devoted mostly to Burge's work on anti-individualism, including extensive replies from Burge to the contributors, has also appeared. Three of Burge's articles have appeared in the The Philosopher's Annual, a ten-article collection of the year's best published articles in all areas of philosophy.
