'"If we assume from the start that everything mental must be reducible to something physical, then we close the possibility of understanding the mind on its own terms"
Victoria Trumbull is a philosopher, researcher, and writer who challenges the dominance of reductive materialism in contemporary thought. Working across philosophical psychology, metaphysics, and the history of ideas, she seeks to recover a deeper, more expansive understanding of the human soul.
Her recent essays and public philosophy argue that memory is not stored in the brain but unfolds in time, offering a powerful alternative to prevailing neuroscience-led accounts of mind and bringing renewed attention to the interior dimensions of human experience.
"Ms Trumbull is doing something very different, finding in philosophers of the past—and in two very different ones—the resources to develop philosophy today in a promising new direction." — Professor John Marenbon
