Bruno Whittle’s work starts from paradoxes and logical results that are related to them and considers the light these shed on broader philosophical issues. He has written papers about whether there are different sizes of infinity, whether logical rules have exceptions, and whether there are limits to what we can say about the language that we speak. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Oxford and before coming to the University of Wisconsin–Madison, held positions at the University of Oxford, Yale University, University of Glasgow, and Texas Tech University.
A word from Michael Titelbaum, Chair of Philosophy:
The Department of Philosophy congratulates Bruno Whittle on his promotion to Associate Professor. He is a master of paradox, who shows us how attending to the thorniest problems may yield the greatest insight. We are glad he joined us, and hope he’s finally found his scholarly home in Madison.
