Daniel Barbarrusa
Visiting Researcher
College of Social Sciences and Humanities
Daniel Barbarrusa is a Fulbright Scholar visiting from University of Seville (Spain). In his ongoing dissertation, “The Political Epistemology of the Internet: from Knowledge to Epistemic Agency”, he defends a distinction between Informational and Agential challenges raised by the Internet. He theorizes that to make sense of Agential challenges, we need to address how actions on the Internet extend beyond the individual, and involve all three user’s, designer’s, and artificial agency.
Daniel’s areas of research interest include philosophy of the Internet, philosophy of agency, social epistemology, and philosophy of conspiracy theories. He aims at completing his PhD in September 2025.
