Visiting Assistant Professor in Philosophy, York University, Toronto
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.
My current projects include a monograph on David Hume’s philosophy of mind and psychology; a collection of new papers on naturalistic themes in Spinoza, Hume and Shepherd, which I’m co-editing with Aaron Garrett; and a project that tries to draw lessons for contemporary epistemology from the works of Hume and Shepherd, focusing on inference to the unobserved and belief in the external world.
