He is currently a researcher at Örebro University, Sweden, where he works at the intersection of the humanities and artificial intelligence on anticipatory systems and the concept of anticipation.
Paris (France) has published his first books (for example L’Art d’être libres au temps des automates). Shortly after his essay Is a New Life Possible? was published in English in 2013, he was offered a research scholarship by The University of Edinburgh and in November 2017 became a Doctor of Philosophy. His PhD thesis is a philosophical history of the idea of esprit de corps. In Edinburgh, Luis de Miranda also conducted interdisciplinary research in AI-Humanities, anthrobotics and the philosophy of technology, and initiated the CRAG research group on “creation of reality”, through which he organised international conferences and workshops. Luis de Miranda also has a Master of Philosophy from the Sorbonne University and graduated from HEC-Paris in Economics.
Even before his proposal of the cosmological concept of Creal in 2008, Luis de Miranda had been interested in process-oriented philosophies (Heraclitus, Hegel, Bergson, Deleuze, Whitehead…) and in the intellectual history of the concept of creation. Between 2009 and 2012, Luis supervised the CRÉEL research and publishing center (Centre de Recherche pour l’Émergence d’une Existence Libre), through which he led philosophical and societal debates, happenings, and book publications.
Luis de Miranda is the founder of The Philosophical Parlour in Stockholm, currently located by the Castle (Slottsbacken 8), where he offers occasional philosophical counselling. He is a certified practicing member and member of the board of the Swedish Society for Philosophical Practice (SSFP).
