Lars Inderelst studied philosophy and classics at the University of Düsseldorf and is specialized in ancient philosophy. As a researcher he was part of the interdisciplinary research center CRC 991 "The Structure of Representations in Language, Cognition, and Science" and compared positions from the history of philosophy to very recent trends in cognitive science such as frame-theory and embodied cognition.
