Autorinformation

---

Being haunted by Descartes' evil demon thought-experiment, Jiri Benovsky began to study metaphysics in an effort to find a proof that the world really exists. He did not find that proof, but at least he found a place at the University of Neuchâtel and the University of Fribourg, in Switzerland, where he can not only go in the mountains but also spend his days thinking about things like himself (his self), existence, personal identity, possible worlds, material objects, and time. He is the author of a number of articles and of several books, mainly in the fields of metaphysics, meta-metaphysics, and aesthetics, including "Eliminativism, objects, and persons - the virtues of non-existence" (2018, Routledge) where he defends a generalized eliminativist worldview, and "Meta-metaphysics" (2016, Springer) where he argues that at the end of the day the evaluation of metaphysical theories is (and should be) based on their aesthetic properties – in short, we choose a metaphysical theory as being the best because we find it beautiful.
