Research.

My interests (non-specialist)

I'm interested in questions about what the world is really like - and in particular what the sciences suggest the world is really like.

I'm also interested in studying philosophers who are not typically associated with these questions - either because they are perceived to hold views that are in some sense hostile to metaphysical or scientific inquiry, or simply because they are neglected more generally within the history of philosophy.

I think that putting these interests into conversation helps us to discover improved ways of understanding the history of our ideas. It also helps us to bring a greater range of conceptual resources to bear on some of the most enduring philosophical problems about the sciences and the ultimate nature of reality.

My interests (specialist)

I'm interested in post-Kantian European philosophy and contemporary debates in the epistemology and metaphysics of the sciences. I'm also interested in exploring the intersections between these philosophical subdisciplines. 

I think doing so allows us (i) to force our understanding of certain post-Kantian philosophers into greater clarity, (ii) to pose new conceptual challenges to such philosophers' thought, and (iii) to bring novel conceptual resources to bear on contemporary philosophy of science.

I am currently working on ideas relating to:
