Research Interest
I am interested in a variety of interrelated topics centred around epistemology, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. My current research project is an investigation in the notion of epistemic entitlement--a type of non-evidential warrant for the background commitments of our cognitive lives--with a view towards constructing a theory of entitlement along epistemic externalist lines. I am also interested in debates on the epistemology of disagreement, and the extent to which theories of epistemic entitlement will influence what we will say about cases of peer disagreement.
