Current
Research
My current research focuses on
various issues in epistemology and philosophy of mind, including the nature of
epistemic normativity, the individuation of perceptual states, and the role of
inference in justifying belief. In
addition to my primary areas of interests, I also have interests in ethics,
philosophy of language, history of modern philosophy, and history of early
analytic philosophy.
