Philip Ebert is Professor of Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Salzburg. He studied philosophy and mathematics at the Universities of Heidelberg and TU Berlin before completing his PhD on Neo-Logicism at the Arché Research Centre, University of St Andrews.
His primary research in epistemology explores risk and rationality using both theoretical and experimental methodologies. He is known for introducing non-probabilistic measures of risk and defending a version of risk pluralism.
Philip frequently collaborates with psychologists, behavioural economists, and statisticians. He also works closely with practitioners—specifically medical doctors and avalanche forecasters—to apply philosophical insights to real-world forecasting, with his work appearing across philosophy, social science, and natural science journals.
