UNF philosophy faculty Creller awarded Fulbright US Scholar fellowship

Dr. Aaron Creller, associate professor of philosophy at the University of North Florida, has received a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program award for the 2024-2025 academic year from the U.S. Department of State and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.

Creller will travel to Košice, Slovakia, to work on completing his manuscript "Realism, Pluralism, and Knowing Across Cultures." His work aims to bring together cutting-edge philosophical ideas from around the world to explore how we understand knowledge while living in a shared reality with justified beliefs (realism) and having individual, subjective experiences (pluralism).

Creller is an expert in comparative epistemology, a cross-cultural examination of the concepts of knowledge. This project is a continuation of his previous work, which aims to challenge traditional epistemological notions.

Creller will work with Professor Eugen Andreanský and faculty in the Department of Philosophy at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University (UPJŠ). Creller's research plan involves conference presentations, public talks, book chapters and ultimately a manuscript proposal leading to a book.
