Jonardon Ganeri is a philosopher whose work draws on a variety of philosophical traditions to construct new positions in the philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and epistemology. He is the author of Fernando Pessoa: Imagination and the Self; Attention, Not Self; The Concealed Art of the Soul; and The Lost Age of Reason; all published by Oxford University Press. Ganeri joined the Fellowship of the British Academy in 2015 and won the Infosys Prize in the Humanities the same year, the only philosopher to do so. He delivered the 2024 John Locke Lectures. Ganeri is currently Bimal K. Matilal Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto.
Jonardon Ganeri's book is a landmark study, refreshingly free of the usual pieties, conscious of the most recent developments, and with the potential to galvanize the field of Pessoa studies. * Paolo de Medeiros,Modern Language Review * This monograph is a deep philosophical excavation and celebration of an extraordinary poet of modernity. The reader follows a creative philosophical conversation and encounter between the philosopher Ganeri and his own work, and the virtual subjects and fugitive selves that make up Pessoa's heteronymy and philosophy of the self. * Bartholomew Ryan, Pessoa Plural *
