My name is Berislav Marušić, and I like to be called Beri.
I am
Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh.
Before coming to Edinburgh, I taught at
Brandeis University for 13 years.
My main research interests are in ethics, philosophy of mind, and epistemology, as well as in existentialism and the history of late modern philosophy. I received my Ph.D. from U.C. Berkeley in 2007 and my A.B. from Harvard University in 2001.
I recently wrote a piece on grief for the digital magazine Psyche. It’s a short presentation of my views on grief that I develop in my book On the Temporality of Emotions: An Essay on Grief, Anger, and Love (OUP, 2022). The book is reviewed in Mind and in Ethics, and I talk about it on the New Books Network and Recall This Book.
The article “Disagreement and Alienation,” co-authored with my dear friend Stephen J. White, has been selected for the 2023 Philosopher’s Annual. Steve’s Responsibility and the Demands of Morality: Collected Papers is now published by Oxford University Press.
