Interests
I have a broad variety of interests in philosophy, especially metaethics, metaphysics (broadly construed to include topics like free will and the nature of the mind), and the philosophy of religion. I’m also interested in epistemology and ancient Greek philosophy; especially the pre-Socratics.
Projects
I’m currently writing a dissertation that critically evaluates moral error theory and moral fictionalism. I'm also trying to get some recent work published.
Long-Term Projects: At some point I hope to write a book (or at least several essays) comparing the explanatory power of theism and atheism with respect to the problem(s) of evil. Solving the mind-body problem would also be nice.
