Interests
Philosophy of mind and philosophical psychology, practical ethics, and personal identity.
Particular interests include perception (colour vision, selective
attention), consciousness
(sensory qualities, conceptual & non-conceptual content), and the connections between them.
I also have an abiding interest in the philosophy of neuropsychopathology and its relation to
questions generated by the above concerns.
Projects
I'm currently working on some of the philosophical implications of experimental results in neuropsychopathology, specifically 'Blindsight' & 'Achromatopsia'. It seems to me that this
is a philosophically fruitful way to answer recalcitrant questions about the metaphysics and epistemology of colour and colour phenomenology.
