Benjamin Henke

I’m a philosopher specializing in the philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and epistemology, with an emphasis on perception.

I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Psyphas Program in Psychology and Philosophy at the University of Haifa. Starting in the Spring 2023, I will be a postdoctoral researcher at the Antwerp Centre for Philosophical Psychology.

I'm married to fellow philosopher Julia Haas.
