I was born and educated in Budapest, Hungary. I studied mathematics and philosophy at the Eötvös Loránd university, and earned a doctorate at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. After a few years of teaching at the Eötvös Loránd University, I joined the Central European University in the year 2000, when the Philosophy Department was founded. I was the head of the department between 2007 and 2010 and also between 2020 and 2024, and served as Provost and Academic Pro-Rector of CEU between 2010 and 2014.
In 2012, I was elected as a member of the Academia Europaea, and in 2025, as external member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Between 2020-2023, I was the president of the European Society for Analytic Philosophy. In 2026, I joined the journal Noûs as one of its editors.
From its foundation in 1991, till 2020, CEU was locatedin Hungary. In 2017, the Hungarian government started a hate campaign against CEU's founder George Soros. The same year the Hungarian Parliament passed a law designed to make CEU's operation in Hungary illegal. As a consequence, CEU moved to Vienna in 2020, where you can still find us.
I am married to the philosopher Tim Crane. We have two children, Miriam, born in 2016, and Rafael, born in 2018.
