Ali Boyle

Welcome!​

I'm a philosopher of science. Most of my research is about comparative cognitive science - the science of nonhuman minds, from animals to artificial agents. I also work in the philosophy of biology, where I'm interested in how to count organisms in tricky cases like conjoined twinning, parasitism and pregnancy. You can find out more about my research here. 

​I sometimes write about animals, science and the mind for a non-academic audience. You can find examples here. 

I also teach philosophy at the University of Cambridge. Information about my teaching is here. 

I'm currently a Senior Research Fellow in Kinds of Intelligence at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence in Cambridge, where I lead the Atlas of Intelligences project. Before joining LCFI, I was a Research Fellow at Trinity Hall, and before that I received my BA, MPhil and PhD in Philosophy from the University of Cambridge.

From September 2022, I'll be an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the LSE.
