Albrecht von Mueller is the director of the Parmenides Center for the Study of Thinking and the chairman of the board of trustees of the Parmenides Foundation, which he founded in 2000. He is teaching philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilian University and is the co-editor of the Springer book series “On Thinking”.
After a PhD on „Time and Logic” at LMU, he was a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Physics and subsequently became head of the research program “Stability-oriented Security Policy” in the Max Planck Society. Later he was the founding director of EUCIS (European Center for International Security). In 1983, Müller developed the idea of a mutual defence dominance into a novel paradigm for conventional arms control (“strukturelle Nichtangriffsfähigkeit”), which became a leitmotif of the CFE treaty. He developed the first modular visual reasoning language, Eidos, with which he served as a scientific advisor to several governments, supranational institutions and large corporations. He served as member of the board of trustees of the Max Planck Institutes of Neurobiology and Biochemistry. He was a guest scientist and lectured at many universities and research centers, including the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University, MIT, La Sapienza (Rome) and SISSA (Trieste). Müller publishes in the fields of philosophy, theoretical physics, complexity theory, cognitive science and political studies.
