Biography

I am an Emeritus Professor of Philosophy. I lectured mainly on the History and Philosophy of the Natural and Social Sciences. I also taught Political Philosophy and History of Philosophy. My main research interest lies in the exploration of the interconnections between science and philosophy. This interest has led to five book publications, three edited volumes and papers in professional journals. See Google Site: https://sites.google.com/view/friedelweinert/home for more details. At the beginning of 2024, I started a Podcast with the title IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS PHILOSOPHY, in which I discuss topics in Philosophy of Science and Political Philosophy. It can be found on both Apple and Spotify.
