interests:
My general philosophical interests include the philosophy of language, metaphysics, and logic. I have a particular interest in truth, and truth related puzzles and paradoxes. I also have a growing appreciation for consequentialist ethics. While I haven't had much experience with it yet, my goal is to become better acquainted with philosophy of mind issues.
some papers:
