Other Writings
In progress at different stages or under review (titles omitted)
Epistemology
Philosophy of Law/Ethics
- Evidentialism about Epistemic Justification
Topics: Epistemology, Perception
I develop the main committments of my evidentialist theory of justification and show how it solves a few important problems that arise for more traditional versions of evidentialism. This paper constitutes the theoretical foundation of my next project so I'm going to be very excited when/if it gets published! - A paper on the metaphysical commitments in knowledge-first epistemology
- A paper on norms of evidence and epistemic ostriching
- Infallibilism, Scepticism, and Underdetermination
Topics: Epistemology, Risk, Philosophy of Science
I argue that one can i) be an infallibilist; ii) say that we have a lot of knowledge; iii) say that our knowledge is nevertheless often underdetermined by our evidence.
Philosophy of Law/Ethics
- Proof Paradoxes and Testimony.
Topics: Evidence-law, Risk, Philosophy of Law
(A sequel to the paper published in IJEP) I argue that the special status of legal testimony cannot be fully explained by appealing to purely epistemic, or purely moral facts. - A paper on sexual consent (with Joshua Rowan Thorpe)
- A paper on probabilities, normalcy, and environmental risk (based on a talk I gave at COP26, Glasgow)
