My name is Maciej Tarnowski, currently at Jagiellonian University in Kraków. In the Fall 2025, I shall start the SONATINA 9 project "Varieties of acceptance: towards a unified account of acceptance in epistemology and philosophy of language", funded by the National Science Center (NCN) in Poland.  From 2022 till 2025 I was a PI in the PRELUDIUM 20 project on Moore's Paradox funded by NCN.

In 2025, I defended my PhD on Moore's Paradox at the University of Warsaw.

I work extensively on philosophy of language, epistemology and philosophical logic; less extensively I occupy myself with experimental philosophy, social ontology and philosophy of mind.

I was born, raised and educated in the city of Warsaw, which holds a special place in my heart (up there you may see blocks of Ursynów, where I spend most of my life).

Apart from being a philosopher, for six years I used to be a high-school coach and teacher - this job is probably the most rewarding and tough challenge I ever took. I am also a devoted fan of competitive debating (here is a World Championship Final I lost against an amazing Croatian team), chess, cooking and hitchhiking.

Here you can also see some of my popular work - interviews, educational videos and translations:

An interview on epistemic paradoxes and all things philosophical (in English; here you can read it in Russian).

A short popular article on the Trump-Biden campaign dynamics (in Polish).

My Russian-to-Polish translation of Andrei Platonov's "On the first socialist tragedy".

An hour-long podcast on paradoxes and analytic philosophy (in Polish):

And some educational videos on how to approach philosophy-related topics in Oxford-style and British Parliamentary debating:
