Lenny Moss began academic studies in earnest only after 5 years of early 70’s political activism during which time he autodidactically discovered and became enamored of the Marxist-Freudian theorizing of Wilhelm Reich and Herbert Marcuse. He taught his first class on the philosophy of nature at the San Francisco Socialist School in 1979. Moss began his academic studies with degrees in biochemistry and molecular biology. He then went into graduate studies at UC Berkeley in biophysics and comparative biochemistry completing his doctorate in research undertaken at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories (under the mentorship of Harry Rubin, Mina Bissell and Gordon Parry). His doctoral research was concerned with the epigenetic regulation of heterogenous cell surface glycosylation relevant to the tumor immune evasion of mammary carcinoma cells. Subsequently he worked for several years doing research at UC San Francisco Medical Center (UCSF) on the role of developmental-stage specific cell surface glycosylation of cell adhesion molecules in the regulation of human placental cell invasiveness. Having also informally studied philosophy and social theory at Berkeley with Hubert Dreyfus, Charles Taylor, Robert Bellah and others, Moss elected to then undertake a second PhD in philosophy at Northwestern University enjoying the mentorship of Thomas McCarthy, Stephen Toulmin, Arthur Fine, Sam Todes and Jürgen Habermas amongst others. Moss was professor of philosophy at the Universities of Notre Dame (USA) and Exeter (UK) for over 20 years where his teaching included classes in the Philosophy of Biology, Philosophy of Nature, Philosophy of Science, Analytic Metaphysics, Philosophy of Technology, Philosophy of Evil, Ethics, Body and Mind, the Idea of Race, Reading Courses in Kant, in Heidegger’s Being and Time, in Nietzsche’s Genealogy of Morals, in selected readings of Habermas and his “signature class” in Philosophical Anthropology. He successfully supervised seven doctoral dissertations, five of whom went on to tenure-line academic appointments (four of whom are women). Moss was recognized by the Student Guild of the University of Exeter under the category of “Best Post- Graduate Research Supervisor.” He is a long-time member of the Editorial Boards of the Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews and Biological Theory and has become the section editor for a new feature on “agency” for the latter. He has previously been a Visiting Fellow at the University of Sydney, The Research Humanities Center of Rice University, and the University of New Mexico. He was the 2 nd Annual Alexander von Humboldt Symposium Scholar of the Royal Irish Academy (2009) and the annual “Science, Technology, and the Human Condition” Visiting Scholar of the Humanities Center of Grinnell College (2014). He is currently funded under the “Agency, Directionality and Function” grant of the Templeton Foundation.

Filosofía de la lógica, Filosofía del Lenguaje, Filosofía de las Matemáticas My goal is to describe a philosophy of language suitable for mathematical language, in order to better understand how we acquire mathematical knowledge. My work in this area is informed by the analytic tradition of Frege, Russell, Church and Kripke. In addition to studying objective conceptual contents, I also study how their antecedents entered our species and our culture. Recently, prior to joining the institute, I have been writing an entry on the great Alonzo Church for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

lenny.moss@filosoficas.unam.mx El enfoque de la filosofía de Lenny Moss se puede caracterizar con respecto a los siguientes compromisos. 1) Él cree que cualquier empresa orientada al conocimiento que no se comprometa con las ciencias naturales no puede ni debe tomarse en serio. 2) Sin embargo, no cree que la filosofía deba relegarse a los presupuestos de ninguna ciencia ni aceptar al pie de la letra la fragmentación del conocimiento y las metodologías que las ciencias contemporáneas realizan en la actualidad. Considera que el mandato de la filosofía es la única responsabilidad disciplinaria de reunir, sintéticamente, los recursos tanto de las ciencias en general como de la reflexión filosófica (incluida la fenomenológica, axiológica y especulativa). 3) Si bien aprecia la claridad lógica del estilo analítico de la filosofía, continúa encontrando la mayor profundidad de penetración y provocación intelectual en el diálogo con filósofos de tradición alemana como Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, Plessner, Habermas y otros investigadores de la “Escuela de Frankfurt”. 4) A diferencia de aquellos para quienes el trabajo filosófico se ha convertido en otra forma de “ciencia normal”, Moss suscribe la distinción de Max Horkheimer entre teoría “tradicional” y “crítica” y cree que la filosofía, como vocación intelectual y no meramente académica, debe responsabilizarse de las intenciones de una empresa conscientemente normativa. Leer mas Lenny Moss comenzó sus estudios académicos en serio solo después de cinco años de activismo político a principios de los 70, tiempo durante el cual descubrió de forma autodidacta y se enamoró de la teoría marxista-freudiana de Wilhelm Reich y Herbert Marcuse. Impartió su primera clase sobre filosofía de la naturaleza en la Escuela Socialista de San Francisco en 1979. Moss comenzó sus estudios académicos con títulos en bioquímica y biología molecular. Luego realizó estudios de posgrado en UC Berkeley en biofísica y bioquímica comparativa y completó su doctorado en investigación realizada en los Laboratorios Lawrence Berkeley (bajo la tutoría de Harry Rubin, Mina Bissell y Gordon Parry). Su investigación doctoral se centró en la regulación epigenética de la glicosilación de la superficie celular heterogénea relevante para la evasión inmune tumoral de las células de carcinoma mamario. Posteriormente, trabajó durante varios años investigando en el Centro Médico de UC San Francisco (UCSF) sobre el papel de la glicosilación de la superficie celular específica de la etapa de desarrollo de las moléculas de adhesión celular en la regulación de la invasividad de las células placentarias humanas. Después de haber estudiado también de manera informal filosofía y teoría social con Hubert Dreyfus, Charles Taylor, Robert Bellah y otros en Berkeley durante estos años, Moss decidió realizar un segundo doctorado en filosofía en la Universidad Northwestern con la tutoría de Thomas McCarthy, Stephen Toulmin, Arthur Fine , Sam Todes y Jürgen Habermas entre otros. Moss fue profesor de filosofía en las Universidades de Notre Dame (USA) y Exeter (UK) durante más de 20 años, donde su enseñanza incluyó clases de Filosofía de la Biología, Filosofía de la Naturaleza, Filosofía de la Ciencia, Metafísica Analítica, Filosofía de la Tecnología, Filosofía del Mal, Ética, Cuerpo y Mente, la idea de raza, Cursos de lectura en Kant, en Ser y tiempo de Heidegger, en Genealogía de la moral de Nietzsche, en lecturas seleccionadas de Habermas y su “clase distintiva” en Antropología filosófica. Supervisó con éxito siete tesis doctorales, cinco de las cuales pasaron a puestos académicos permanentes (cuatro de los cuales son mujeres). Moss fue reconocido por el Sindicato de Estudiantes de la Universidad de Exeter en la categoría de "Mejor supervisor de investigación de posgrado". Es miembro desde hace mucho tiempo de los consejos editoriales de Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews and Biological Theory. Anteriormente fue miembro visitante en la Universidad de Sydney, el Centro de Investigación en Humanidades de la Universidad Rice y la Universidad de Nuevo México. Fue becario del segundo Simposio Anual Alexander von Humboldt de la Royal Irish Academy (2009) y becario visitante anual de "Ciencia, Tecnología y la Condición Humana" del Centro de Humanidades de Grinnell College (2014).
