\\
Prof. Dr. Thomas Sturm is ICREA Research Professor in philosophy at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). His work centers on three related areas: Kant’s philosophy, rationality, and the relations between philosophy and history of science. Before joining ICREA in 2014, he held positions at Marburg, the University of California at San Diego (UCSD), the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences (BBAW), the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (Berlin), and UAB (Ramón y Cajal Scholar 2009-2014). Sturm is also member of the UAB’s Center for the History of Science (CEHIC), the UB's LOGOS Group in Analytic Philosophy, and Affiliated Researcher at the Wilhelm Wundt Center for Philosophy & History of Psychology, Universidade Federal Juiz de Fora (Brazil). In 2013, he founded the "Barcelona History and Philosophy of Science (HPS) group". In this highly interdisciplinary group, unique in Spain, philosophers and historians collaborate with researchers from mathematics, physics, psychology, economics, and other disciplines on fundamental questions of concepts of rationality – with financial support from the Spanish government (MINECO). In 2014, Sturm became elected by the Kant-Kommission (BBAW) to the project of the revision of the Academy edition of Kant’s writings, responsible for major publications on natural science. He has also worked on potentials and limits of theories of rationality for politics, particularly concerning the Cold War and (now) European integration. Sturm has published 2 books, several edited volumes, and more than 70 articles in prestigious collections and high-impact journals, among them Erkenntnis, Kant-Studien, Kantian Review, Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, Synthese, Inquiry, Philosophy of the Social Sciences, Philosophical Psychology, History of Psychology, or Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences.\\ \\
