  • My main research interests lie in epistemology, metaethics and the intersections between the two domains (although I have also dabbled in other topics as well). I am especially intrigued by the concept of rationality.
  • In particular, I am interested in the semantics of knowledge attributions, epistemic rationality and reasons, moral rationality and reasons, evolutionary debunking arguments, rational intuitionism, conceptual competence, companions-in-guilt arguments, expressivism, virtue ethics and virtue epistemology, and other related matters.
