My research focuses on the history of modern philosophy. I am especially interested in topics at the intersection of philosophy and psychology, including mental representation, the cognitive faculties, reasoning, belief, and epistemic warrant.

My work has appeared in The Philosophical Review, the Journal of the History of Philosophy, and Ergo, among other venues.

At present, my main project is a monograph on David Hume’s philosophy of mind and psychology, and its development over the course of his career.

My wife, Maggie O’Brien, is also a philosopher. We live in Toronto with our children (two human, one canine).
