Béatrice Longuenesse (born September 6, 1950) is a French philosopher and academic, who is the Silver Professor of Philosophy Emerita at New York University.

[1] Her work focuses on Immanuel Kant, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, and the philosophy of mind.

Starting in 2006 she held a fellowship at the Wissenschaftskolleg (Institute for Advanced Study, Berlin), and in 2010 she was appointed Silver Professor of Philosophy at New York University.

[7] Longuenesse has written five books, edited two volumes, and published numerous refereed papers.

[16] Longuenesse's work connects Kant's view to contemporary debates in philosophy of mind, for instance around the question of the conceptual or non-conceptual content of perception and the nature of rule following.

Contra Kant, however, Hegel argues that this characterization of the categories of metaphysics does not entail that we have no knowledge of things as they are in themselves.

She draws on resources from both the "analytic" and the "continental" traditions of philosophy to offer an original contribution to contemporary debates on self-consciousness.

Her work in this area has appeared in interdisciplinary venues alongside that of linguists, philosophers of language,[21] and neuroscientists.
