About
Areas of Interest:
Epistemology: I enjoy most questions in epistemology, especially material covering accounts of knowledge (including the appropriate semantics thereof) and structural relations between knowledge and other epistemic concepts e.g. evidence, higher order evidence, justification, assertion, and practical reasoning.
Philosophy of religion: all questions
Early modern philosophy, especially Hume
Metaphysics: all questions, especially David Lewis's work.
Jewish philosophy, especially Maimonides and Gersonides, as well as the development of an analytic approach to issues of philosophical interest in Judaism
