Hey there – thanks for visiting my website! My name is Levin Güver and I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Zurich, where I am composing my habilitation on the philosophical foundations of criminal procedure law. I hold a PhD from University College London, where I was jointly supervised across the Law Faculty and Philosophy Department by Mark Dsouza and John Hyman, as well as a Bachelor of Law and Master of Law from the University of Zurich, the latter of which I graduated as valedictorian. I am also an active member of the IDea_Lab (formerly known as the Guilty Minds Lab), and have spent some time at both the MPI-CSL and Yale Law School.

My interests lie at the intersection of law, philosophy, and psychology, broadly construed. I am most passionate about the philosophical foundations of criminal law and am currently writing my habilitation on moral and epistemological puzzles that beset the criminal process. I am also greatly interested in action-theoretical queries – my dissertation was on the concept of intention in and outside the law – and hold auxilliary interests in the philosophy of blame and punishment and (the ethics of) artificial intelligence. I further enjoy tackling jurisprudential questions from an empirical angle (see here here for a wonderful review article of what that looks like) and have done some work on biases afflicting causal cognition and, by extension, the law.

In my free time I enjoy lifting weights, running, playing chess, video games, and reading manga.

If you share any of the above interests, please do get in touch! :-)
