Summary Statement of Research Interests
My primary research interests are in political philosophy, philosophy of language, and metaphysics. I have published work on generics, action theory, biological teleology, and Hume on denial.
Within political philosophy, I have research interests in colonialism, self-respect, egalitarianism, and just war theory. Within philosophy of language, I have research interests in generics, subjective propositional attitudes, and implicatures. And within metaphysics, I have research interests in habits, free will, and nonexistent objects.
