Interests

My interests are mainly in moral theory, especially metaethics and environmental ethics.

Projects

1. I am currently engaged in trying to develop a metaethical theory that explains morality in terms
of functions without falling prey to some obvious objections.

2. I am currently working on a paper in moral epistemology exploring how reliabilism might be
employed in a naturalistic theory of morality.

3. I am working on a project exploring how empirical issues might weigh in deciding the debate
between contractarian and contractualist theory of morality.
