Teaching

Vera Hoffmann-Kolss

I regularly teach introductory classes in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and logic. I also teach introductory and advanced seminars on topics in these areas, as well as on selected topics in the history of philosophy.

In addition, I regularly supervise bachelor's theses and master's theses on topics in my areas of expertise.

For more information about the classes I am currently teaching (and have taught in the past), please visit the website of the Institute of Philosophy at the University of Bern.
