My interests are: epistemic possibility, supervenience, pragmatics, narrow content, relevant alternatives theories of knowledge, counterfactuals, 2-dimensional semantics. I’m working on a paper in which I distinguish kinds of supervenience and describe their logical relations, and a paper where I argue for a departure from the Lewis/Stalnaker theory of counterfactuals and claim that this benefits epistemologies that analyze knowledge in terms of “if P were false, S would not believe P”. My favorite philosophy paper is “Quantifying In” by David Kaplan.
