He also spent a year as a visiting student at the University of California, Berkeley. He is primarily interested in philosophy of language, epistemology, and philosophy of mind.

Taraana Madhok
Master's Student, 2025 Cohort

I graduated with BAs in Philosophy and Economics from the University of Chicago, worked in Economic Consulting for a couple of years, and then found my way back to Philosophy.

Currently, I’m interested in meta-ethics, moral psychology, and epistemology, especially questions of self-creation and self-knowledge.

Outside of Philosophy, I play the piano, enjoy literature, struggle with New York Times crosswords, and am on a perpetual hunt for cafés serving intensely dark-roasted coffee!
