Gabriel Rabin
Assistant Professor of Philosophy, New York University Abu Dhabi and New York University
Gabriel Oak Rabin is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at New York University Abu Dhabi and New York University. He has wide-ranging interests in the philosophy of mind, metaphysics, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mathematics. He has published on consciousness, grounding, modality, physicalism, the knowledge argument, the continuum hypothesis, a priori knowledge, spatial concepts and spatial vision, and on what it is to have, and to understand, a concept. While an ICE fellow at Dartmouth, he will conduct research on iconic and analog representation, including pictures, maps, and perceptual states. He is interested in foundational questions about what divides these types of representation from others, and on what significance these divisions have for the various purposes toward which we put representations. Born and raised in the great state of Vermont, Gabriel is looking forward to returning to the north for his January visit to ICE.
