Wolfgang Spohn is one of the most popular and richest Philosopher who was born on March 20, 1950 in Germany.

Wolfgang Spohn studied philosophy, logic and philosophy of science and mathematics at the University of Munich and acquired there the MA (1973) and the Ph.D. (1976) with a thesis on the Grundlagen der Entscheidungstheorie. In his time as an assistant professor he earned the habilitation (1984) with a thesis about Eine Theorie der Kausalität. He held professorships at the University of Regensburg (1986–91), the University of Bielefeld (1991–96), and the University of Konstanz (1996–2018). Since 2019 he is senior professor at the University of Tübingen.

Spohn is best known for his contributions to formal epistemology, in particular for comprehensively developing ranking theory since 1982, which is his theory of the dynamics of belief. It is an alternative to probability theory and of similar philosophical impact as a formal account of the dynamics of belief. Spohn’s research extends to philosophy of science, the theory of causation, metaphysics and ontology, philosophy of language and mind, two- dimensional semantics, philosophical logic, and decision and game theory (see the collection of papers). His dissertation and his paper “Stochastic Independence, Causal Independence, and Shieldability” are precursors of the theory of Bayesian networks and their causal interpretation. His paper “How to Make Sense of Game Theory” is a forerunner of epistemic game theory.
