Tim Elmo Feiten conducts research situated broadly within philosophy of science, with a focus on the sciences of life, mind, and artificial intelligence. His work brings the history and philosophy of science into dialogue with other fields, especially continental philosophy. He has used the philosophy of embodied cognitive science to develop new readings of Jakob von Uexküll and Max Stirner, and to ask questions about the relationships between art, science, technology, and society. He also does research on public engagement with science and the question of how AI research could be democratized, as well as pursuing methodological questions about scientific modeling in biology and the social sciences (in particular game theoretic models of cultural evolution).
