Dr Troy Vine is Programme Lead for MSc Holistic Science at Schumacher College. Troy studied Physics with Astrophysics at Bristol University. After a year of studying jazz, he returned to physics and completed a doctorate at University College London with a thesis based on experimental research at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, near Chicago. He then studied Goethean science in America and Germany before moving to Berlin, where he pursued his interest in the history of language by studying classics at Humboldt University.

After a few years, he switched to philosophy with a focus on Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language which lead into a second doctorate on which he is currently working. His thesis develops a Wittgensteinian approach to the history and philosophy of science that is based on seeing connections.
