Matthew Boyle works primarily in the philosophy of mind—especially on issues about self-knowledge and the difference between rational and nonrational minds—and in the history of philosophy, where his scholarship has focused primarily on Immanuel Kant and later German philosophy and on Jean-Paul Sartre. His book “Transparency and Reflection: A Study of Self-Knowledge and the Nature of Mind” is forthcoming in 2024 from Oxford University Press. Boyle is the Emerson and Grace Wineland Pugh Professor in the Department of Philosophy and the College and Chair of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Chicago.
