I am a philosopher at the University of Tartu, Estonia. Officially I am Professor of Theoretical Philosophy and head of the Department of Philosophy. I work in epistemology, metaphysics, the philosophy of mind, language, mathematics, and logic, and in related areas of philosophy and cognitive science. I am also one of the editors of Studia Philosophica Estonica.

On this site you can find my CV, a list of my publications (some for download), information on the research projects I'm involved in, and teaching materials for my courses. In the NEWS section you find news and some discussion about recent or upcoming events and contemporary topics in theoretical philosophy and cognitive science.
