My primary research centers on issues in contemporary epistemology. But I work in other areas too. More specifically, I have interests in philosophy of science, philosophy of language, ethics, political philosophy, and philosophy of religion.
My research spans across traditional, formal, and social epistemological issues. Here are some topics in which I have interest:
My research spans across traditional, formal, and social epistemological issues. Here are some topics in which I have interest:
- The Fallibilism/Infallibilism debate (relatedly: whether knowledge is evidence)
- The aim of inquiry
- The epistemic norm of assertion
- Pragmatic encroachment
- The epistemic significance of unpossessed evidence
- The epistemic significance of purely statistical evidence
- The relationship between practical and epistemic reasons
