Karsten Stueber received his Ph.D. from the University of Tübingen, Germany. He has widely published in the area of philosophy of language, philosophy of mind and the philosophy of the social sciences. His articles have appeared in journals such as Erkenntnis, Philosophy of the Social Sciences, History and Theory, and Philosophical Studies. In addition, he is author of Donald Davidsons Theorie Sprachlichen Verstehens (Anton Hain 1993) and co-editor of two anthologies: Philosophie der Skepsis (utb 1996) and Empathy and Agency: the Problem of Understanding in the Human Sciences (Westview 2000). In the last few years his writings and research interests have been primarily concerned with providing an account of our ability to understand other agents. These interests are reflected in his recent book Rediscovering Empathy: Agency, Folk Psychology, and the Human Sciences (MIT Press 2006). He has also been the Secretary Treasurer of the Society for Philosophy and Psychology from 1998-2001, a society that he highly recommends to everybody.
