Dr M.J. van Stee (Annemarie)

Annemarie van Stee is a philosopher with two areas of expertise. The first concerns themes in ethics that don’t revolve around morality: love, meaning in life, well-being and suffering. The second concerns philosophy’s role in interdisciplinary cooperation, particularly with behavioral sciences. In most of what she does, Van Stee combines these two research interests.

For her PhD (Leiden, 2017), Van Stee received the Keetje Hodshon Prize 2020, awarded by the Royal Holland Society of Science and Humanities (KHMW). This prize is awarded once every four years in the category ‘philosophy or theology’, to one dissertation defended in the Netherlands in the intermittent years. A book based on that dissertation came out in 2022, with Palgrave MacMillan: 'Love and Selfhood. Self-Understanding through Philosophy and Cognitive Neuroscience'.

Annemarie van Stee coordinates the multidisciplinary minor Well-Being and Society. She also serves as teaching ambassador for her faculty.
