Career

Avramides has worked on the philosophy of language, and the philosophy of the mind, most recently focusing on the knowledge of other minds. For Avramides, this question is at the intersection of the philosophy of mind, epistemology, and metaphysics. She believes that the 'problem' of other minds is conceptual, rather than epistemological. ^{[2] [3]}
