Sander Verhaegh is Associate Professor in Philosophy of Science at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. He is the author of Logical Positivism: An American History (OUP, forthcoming) and Working from Within: The Nature and Development of Quine's Naturalism (OUP, 2018). His work has been published in, among others, Journal of the History of Philosophy, Philosophy of Science, Erkenntnis, Philosophers' Imprint, Isis, Australasian Journal of Philosophy, Synthese, and History of Psychology.
Currently, Verhaegh is the principal investigator of the project “Exiled Empiricists: American Philosophy and the Great Intellectual Migration” (2022-27), funded by an European Research Council Starting Grant and a Vidi-grant from the Dutch Research Council (NWO). The aim of this project is to reconstruct the American reception of logical empiricism in the years before the Second World War, when dozens of European philosophers sought refuge in the United States. Previously, he worked on a NWO Veni-project on the development of behaviorism in American philosophy and psychology.Associate Professor
