Abstract

Jan Beuerbach studied philosophy, sociology, German philology and biochemistry at Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main. He had a scholarship by Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung. From 2008-2012 he worked as student assistent and tutor at the Institute of Philosophy in Frankfurt. In 2014 he received his Magister Artium in philosophy with a thesis on Hegel's philosophy of language. Since fall 2015 he is research assistant in the research area Philosophy of Culture (Prof. Dr. Dirk Quadflieg) at the Institute of Cultural Studies at the University of Leipzig. In 2024 he finished his dissertation on the topic of "Property for Others. A Critique of the Appropriation of Data".

My research topics touch on questions of social philosophy and philosophy of rights, philosophy of language and technology, ethics of science, theory of literature, aesthetics, political theory as well as digital culture and internet policy.
