Research

I spend about half my time on current problems in epistemology and metaphysics and the other half on the early modern philosophers. This academic year (2011-2012) I am working at the National Humanities Center on a book entitled Problems from Reid, a sequel to my Problems from Kant.

Teaching

Among the courses I teach regularly at USC are Philosophical Foundations of Modern Western Culture, Time and Time Travel, History of Modern Philosophy, Theory of Knowledge, and Metaphysics. I have recently given graduate seminars in the philosophy of Thomas Reid, the philosophy of A.N. Prior, the philosophy of time, the philosophy of perception, and probability and epistemology.
