Eike Buhr M.Ed.

Eike Buhr studied history and philosophy at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster. He was a student assistant at the Institute for Educational Science in Münster and a research assistant in the project Neuro-enhancement in the educational and business sector (funded by the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF)). In his master thesis, he discussed transcranial magnetic stimulation as a potential form of neuro-enhancement in the context of resource allocation within the welfare-state. After the second state examination and a position as an associate lecturer at the Hochschule Darmstadt, has been a research assistant in the Division for Ethics in Medicine since January 2020.
His field of interests comprises political philosophy with a focus on contemporary theories of justice, the philosophy of Hannah Arendt as well as questions of social philosophy and philosophy of law. In the context of bioethics, he is mainly interested in the ethics of resource allocation and the philosophy of personhood. Furthermore, he is interested in the philosophy of education, especially in the context of digitalisation. Within the EIDEC project, he studies the social acceptance and the ethical acceptability of assistive and monitoring systems for people with dementia with a special focus on the ethics of privacy.
