RESEARCH INTERESTS

Philosophy of Language Contemporary American Philosophy (Putnam, Davidson, Rorty and Quine) Relativism and Rationality Pragmatism Philosophy of Mind Cognitive Science

My overarching research interest is in the possibility of objective knowledge in the face of intractable disagreements and incompatible knowledge claims, in both the natural and human sciences. The project has been carried out in three inter-related strands:
1. Foundational: Relativism and Pluralism and the possibility of objectivity
2. Historic: Pragmatist and Neo Pragmatist responses to the problems of truth and objectivity
3. Practical: Expert Knowledge, Disagreement and the question of who to Trust
