Stefano Vincini is a PhD student from Memphis University. His main research interests are phenomenology and philosophy of mind. He is investigating the possibilities of transcendental phenomenology by dealing with issues such as intersubjectivity, time-consciousness and the phenomenology of the human being. He combines a phenomenological psychological approach with recent research in developmental psychology and animal cognition in order to examine the validity of specific phenomenological claims. His further research in philosophy of mind enriches the way he can treat ontological and epistemological problems. In June/July 2015, he will be visiting Prof. Newen's department for a second time.
