Research
Annemarie van Stee is a PhD-candidate in philosophy. The working title of her PhD-thesis is ‘Understanding self-understanding in an age of cognitive neuroscience’. In her dissertation, she develops a view on the existential aspect of self-understanding, i.e. an understanding of ourselves in terms of what is of crucial importance to us. She investigates what philosophy and cognitive neuroscience research into love and self-reflection may contribute to our understanding of existential self-understanding.
Generally, Van Stee likes to submit existential issues to clear-headed philosophical analysis. This places her research interests at the intersection of philosophical anthropology and ethics. She has published articles on the relation between love and selfhood; on an existential take on religious faith; and on what cognitive neuroscience may contribute to self-understanding. The two philosophers whose thought she has drawn on most are Søren Kierkegaard and Harry Frankfurt.
Van Stee obtained a bachelor’s degree at University College Utrecht and degrees in Cognitive Neuroscience (CNS) and Philosophy at Radboud University Nijmegen (all three cum laude). Her research master in CNS included a yearlong traineeship at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics. Van Stee’s MA-thesis ‘Philosophical anthropological assumptions in cognitive neuroscience of self’ received the ESSSAT Student Prize 2012.
She spent the Spring semester of 2014 as a visiting researcher at the Center for Subjectivity Research in Copenhagen. Earlier, she spent a year in Norway and a semester at the National University of Singapore.
