'"Philosophers view the world to a certain extent in the same way as do alien beings or children."

Markus Gabriel works out of the University of Bonn, where he holds the chair for Epistemology, Modern and Contemporary Philosophy and is Director of the International Centre for Philosophy. Gabriel has also been a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

Markus is a prominent critic of physicalism and moral nihilism. He has also claimed that the coronavirus crisis called into question the idea that only scientific and technical progress could lead to human and moral progress.

"Markus Gabriel is that rare beast, a serious academic philosopher with the wit and talent to write for non-academic audiences." - Los Angeles Review of Books
