PhilosophyI’m interested in questions at the intersection of philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and moral psychology. My recent book, Alien Experience, argues that one can sometimes be alienated from a perception (as one can sometimes be alienated from a desire). This has implications for how we think about self-control, bias, cognitive penetration, and representationalist perceptual theories. In my current teaching, I’m thinking about the nature of unconscious cognition. And in my current writing, I’m thinking about how a perception could be epistemically problematic without being inaccurate.
