Lucas KayssiMaster's Student
I did my undergrad in economics and philosophy at Western University. I’m finishing my MA in philosophy at McMaster University with a CGS-M, and I start my PhD in philosophy at York University right after. My interests are in the philosophy of mind, social cognition, phenomenology, and AI. For my master’s thesis, I argued that Edith Stein’s account of empathy can contribute to the contemporary social cognition literature. For my doctoral thesis, I’m interested in whether genuine social interactions with AI chatbots and robots are philosophically plausible. For fun, I like to play guitar, enjoy the company of my friends, go biking, running, play video games, and do some leather crafting to keep my hands busy. |
