István Aranyosi
I’m a philosopher,
currently (April 2006 – April 2007) a research fellow at the Centre for Consciousness,
headed by David Chalmers, at the
Australian National University. Before that I have been a graduate
student in Philosophy at the Central European University, getting my
PhD there in 2005. In 2003, I was a visiting scholar at the University
of Arizona, in Tucson. I’m specializing in the philosophy of mind and
metaphysics. The focus of my research so far has been: consciousness,
intentionality, physicalism, functionalism, mental causation, the
ontology of composition, and dispositional essentialism. Recently, I've
come to be interested in
philosophical theology as well.
On this page you will find links to, among other things, my papers, some photos, my vita, and to the web pages of some of my friends from the philosophical community.

3. Other interests:
Music: First of
all, I've been a MANOWAR
in the last 18 years (I'm writing this in 2006). Second, I used to be a
musician, vocals and
guitars, in a metal band called Empire,
which ceased to exist in 1997.
I hope to start the battle again some point, after I get a job in
philosophy (or rather if I don't get a
job). Here is a sample song by Empire, live at Samus Rock Alive,
1996: Steppenwolf.
Third, I'm a fanatic of virtuoso melodic progressive
neoclassical shredding (but also symphonic, viking, etc.), especially
(but not before DT):
Artension
