Dr. Helge Rückert is an academic staff member at the Chair of Theoretical Philosophy/
He is a proponent of a firm analytic approach to philosophy. His research mainly focuses on formal and philosophical logic (dialogical logic, modal logic with subjunctive markers) and analytic metaphysics (philosophy of metaphysical and epistemic modalities, Kripke).
In addition to topics from core areas of theoretical philosophy (e.g. philosophy of language, epistemology, theory of science) and the history of analytic philosophy (e.g. Frege, Wittgenstein, Vienna Circle), he also regularly offers courses on population ethics and interdisciplinary areas such as social choice theory, game and decision theory as well as philosophy and economics (among others, Adam Smith, Gary Becker, business ethics).
