David Spurrett

I’m a naturalist philosopher of cognitive science and biology. This site contains information about my two current research projects: ‘Engines of Hostility’ and ‘Common Currencies’.

You can find preprints of most of my publications at my profile on PhilPeople.

I work at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, where I am professor of philosophy.

I used to be on Twitter, now I’m on BlueSky.

I took this photograph of some subdued vervet monkeys sitting on a
roof in the rain in Durban in November 2022.
