Benjamin Henke
I’m a philosopher specializing in the philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and epistemology, with an emphasis on perception.
I'm currently on parental leave. Starting in February, 2023, I will be a postdoctoral researcher at the Antwerp Centre for Philosophical Psychology.

I'm married to fellow philosopher Julia Haas.
