Biography

Eli Alshanetsky is an Assistant Professor in Philosophy at Temple University. Previously, he was an Andrew W. Mellon fellow in the Humanities at Stanford University. He received his PhD in philosophy from NYU. Eli's research and teaching interests are at the intersection of the philosophy of mind and language, epistemology, and cognitive science. He is also directing the Cognitive Integrity Lab, which explores AI’s impact on human thought, authorship, and trust.

His book, Articulating a Thought, examines how we make our thoughts clear to ourselves in the process of putting them into words. For an accessible introduction to this topic, see his article at Aeon Magazine: Thoughts into Words.
