Vilius Dranseika

I am a philosopher at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Ethics, Jagiellonian University, in Kraków, Poland, where I am a university professor (profesor uczelni).

My research focuses on the psychological underpinnings of philosophical concepts and theories. Recently, the main themes of my work have been personal identity, death, and memory. My publication list.

I hold a PhD in Philosophy from the Centre for Philosophy of Memory, Grenoble Alpes University, France.
