DETAILED_MAJOR
His interests include mentality, causality, rationality, and normativity. He seeks to understand the natures of these, how they are related to each other, and how to fit them into a broadly physicalistic worldview. His dissertation, “Reasons, Actions, and Causes,” concerns a group of inter-connected questions involving some of these issues. He is currently working on a project on action explanation and rationality.
