Máté Veres

Research Fellow

FNS Ambizione "Excellence and expertise in Hellenistic philosophy"

I am a Research Fellow at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Geneva. I study ancient philosophy with a focus on Hellenistic epistemology and ethics. My current project concerns the notion of technê in Hellenistic philosophy, funded by an Ambizione grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation. My previous project focused on Hellenistic philosophical theology and its interaction with ancient Scepticism.

Curriculum Vitae

Having received my doctoral degree from Central European University (Budapest), I taught and worked at the University of Toronto, the University of Geneva, the University of Hamburg, and Eötvös Loránd University Budapest.

During my studies, I was a Fulbright scholar at Cornell University, a visiting student at the University of Cambridge, a scholarship recipient at the Fondation Hardt, and a visiting junior fellow at the Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen in Vienna.
