Current Research
Most of my work is in the philosophy of
perception, focusing on: (1) the non-conceptual content of experiences and
whether concepts are required for perception (they aren’t!), (2) the
non-transitivity of looking the same, (3) the ontology of experience and
temporal experiences in particular (whether experiences have or represent
duration—they don’t). Some related interests include the nature of appearances,
the difference between naïve realism and representationalism, perceptual
projectivism, and questions surrounding perceptual justification. I also dabble
in epistemology, having done some work on epistemic norms, kinds of defeaters,
and have various interests in metaphysics.
