Hannah Pillin, M.Sc., M.A.

Personal information

I am a PhD student in Logic and Philosophy of Science at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) at LMU Munich, supervised by Hannes Leitgeb and Christian List. I am also the administrative assistant of the Mentoring Programm of Faculty 10 of LMU.

PhD project

My PhD project is in epistemology, where I work on fragmentation of doxastic attitudes, such as belief and justification. Fragmentation is the idea that an agent's doxastic state can be made up of multiple different fragments that might be inconsistent with each other. This is opposed to more traditional accounts, where a doxastic state has to be one big consistent "bubble". My dissertation is titled „Fragmented Justification". For more information, please refer to my website.

Research interests

Besides epistemology, I am also interested in (doxastic) logic, philosophy of logic, specifically in questions about normativity of logic and rationality, social epistemology (judgment aggregation, social choice), philosophy of language, and philosophy of science. In philosophy of science, I am especially interested in the epistemology of complex system sciences, such as climate sciences, as well as the role values play in science. Related to this interest, in 2022, I have pursued a 5-month Blue Book traineeship at the European Commission, Directorate General CLIMA, where I worked on climate change, climate modeling and climate policy.
