Me, in <1min

Hi, I am [[Sebastián] Sánchez Martínez]. Philosophy is my business. This is my academic webpage.

So, I’m a fourth-year PhD student with a DAAD-grant researching at the TU Dresden’s Institute of Philosophy. Before this, I worked a couple of years at the Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira.

In short, my main research interests are in epistemology and theories of rationality in different disciplines, like psychology, economics, and decision theory. I’m mainly interested in how limitations in human and non-human reasoners (like limits in memory, computation, and time) can affect theories of justification and rationality. Currently, I am finishing a dissertation on simplified reasoning, drawing on contemporary traditions of bounded rationality. As a side interest, I work on foundational and applied aspects of speech-act theory.
