Interests

Various topics in the philosophy of mind, religion, metaethics, action theory, and metaphysics.

Projects

My most important project this year is to settle on a dissertation topic.  Ideally, I’d like to work on a topic that interacts with debates in both metaethics and the philosophy of mind.  I'm also working on two essays in metaethics and 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.
